A little bit of good news....

Australian Sailing have been working on campaigning for sailors to do what they do best - go sailing! The good news is that with immediate effect and the support of BIA & Vic Sport, we can now confirm that Sailing is allowed for exercise.
Subject to:

• It is within 5km from home
• For up to 2hrs, once per day
• With a mask
• With one other person (plus dependents that cannot be left unattended)

For those of you who do not store your boats at home, you can now access the MYC yard to go sailing if you live within 5km.

Please sign in upon entry using the QR code displayed on entry gates, social distance, move in and out as quickly as possible and not gather in groups within the yard.
Club rooms are closed (first aid can be accessed in an emergency)

You can:

• Access Boats from open-air yards. So long as sailors can practice social distancing and other covid requirements, a facility such as a clubhouse is not entered.
• Sailors can access boats on moorings and marinas. However, so long as members can practice social distancing and other covid requirements, a facility such as a clubhouse is not entered.
• Boats may be accessed from storage or dry stacks, if done in a retail style, click and collect, covid-safe manner, and if the storage facility has this same understanding.

This lockdown intends to restrict unnecessary movement to prevent the spread of the virus. We must be following the guidelines from the government. These are. 

• The practice of social distancing
• Sign in with the Service Victoria QR code at entrance points
