Covid-19 – updated advice 13th July 2020: a document with Covid-19 Haversham Sailing Club applicable details can be found in the Members Area. Please ensure you read it before visiting the club.

Haversham Sailing Club will be following the advice issued by the Government and the RYA. We will be conservative and considerate in our activities and we hope this will keep everyone safe and well, but allow us all to appreciate a gradual return to normality when we can. So, until further notice: SUSPENDED – general access to the clubhouse, nominated duties, all social occasions, all club events, all training sessions, all access to club containers and flamvaults. CANCELLED – all public events. HOWEVER - Limited reopening of club activities has commenced with limited access to the toilets and bar, Sunday racing and Improvers sessions back on the calendar and Wednesday racing and Training under review. SOCIAL DISTANCING – is still the primary defense against the virus – maintain 2m social distance or 1m with mitigation even from your friends. BUT – you must take into consideration the latest government advice regarding preferred group sizes and social bubbles. Everyone has a key and a code – do get out there and enjoy time on or by the water if you can. You must be responsible for your own safety as we only have a limited number of members who are able to commit to Safety Boat Duty. Please use Facebook or the Yahoo group to find out when other members are sailing so that you are not sailing alone. PLEASE – Contact the Membership Secretary if you are not receiving your copy of Flotsam and Jetsam as this is our preferred method of issuing updates. Do NOT use the changing rooms, they are not being cleaned. Keep gates locked at all times when only a few people on site, use the sanitiser spray if you open the padlocks. MINIMISE SOCIAL CONTACT – PERSONAL DISTANCING, MINIMISE SOCIAL CONTACT, DO NOT PUT THE NHS AT RISK. THANK YOU.
