The current NSW Health requirements will need to be followed by all RANSA members and guests when using the Club including Navy Bear Cafe. This means Members entering the clubhouse will need to be double vaccinated and will have to produce their vaccination certificate to show their double vaccination status and abide by the indoor capacity requirements of 1 person per 4 sqm.
As of today restrictions are further eased and we are excited about getting back in to sailing and to welcoming you here at the Boatshed!
See below for all the details.
The rules applicable from this Monday 11th October are summarised below, further easing of restrictions will follow once the 80% vaccination target is reached.
The mandatory pre season skippers briefing was held by Zoom on 6 October, and included the RMS briefing, a presentation on the use of Sailsys, and a preview of the 21/22 Season at RANSA. The video recording can be reviewed at the link below.
Australian Sailing have consulted with Police Marine Area Command on how latest easing of restrictions applies to boating, and they have issued the statement below clarifying that the new gathering rules of 5 people outdoors DO NOT apply to any kind of boat and this includes sailing boats whether open or with a cabin.
With it now looking like we will get a Twilight & Summer season of sailing, RANSA has negotiated a special offer with Ian Short Sails for 15% off any new sail (any cloth type) or major sail repair/service if ordered before 31st October! Some T&Cs apply so read how you can take advantage of this special member offer.
If you are bored with binge watching TV series we have a few alternatives for you, with the return of Trivia and a couple of Zoom items of interest to skippers and crew:
The Inaugural RANSA TRIVIA night was a big hit with all those who took part: 26 teams 'turned up' for a fun session of interesting and intriguing questions served up by Andrew who hosted the evening with a perfect balance of authority and humour.
Sadly it appears we are in lockdown for a further 4 weeks with no competitive sailing on the immediate horizon, and NSW maritime has issued the following update on the situation for the boating community.
Owing to the renewal of restrictions for a further week the races scheduled for Saturday 10 and Wednesday 14 July are abandoned, and the procedures advised in the earlier news item below remain in place.
Australian Sailing met with RMS this week to clarify what are permitted sailing activities these have now been published on the RMS web site. Link included on this page. Key points socialising or cruising is not a reasonable excuse and 1 per 4 square meter rule applies.
