COVID 19 Alert Level 2 at Manly Sailing Club - Safe sailing encouraged, club activities remain suspended
13.05.20

As you have all probably been following the news closely like we have, you will have been rejoicing with the news that sailing and other water sport activities are now an option for us under level 2!

You will probably now be wondering what this means for the club and our sailing programs?

Whilst level 2 means we can get out on the water in a much bigger way, the club is still subject to a significant number of COVID19 protocols. This means that if we were to open, at a minimum we would be required to ensure:

Gathering in groups is limited to 10 people;
All equipment is to be thoroughly washed down, before, during and after use;
Bathrooms are limited to no more than one person at time, and must be monitored at all times during open hours;
The implementation and purchase of several soap/sanitiser stations around our premises (e.g. entrance, boat park, changing rooms, food and water distributions stations and all other gathering rooms and stations);
Disinfecting all surfaces before and after use, including boats, and having regular cleaning procedures for objects used regularly like door handles;
An increase in the commitments from our current volunteer base to ensure any health and safety level two programmes and restrictions on sailors is being followed; and
Sailors to wear gloves when hosing down equipment.

Further, on Saturday 16 May, Auckland will be subject to significant water use restrictions, prohibiting use of outdoor hoses.
These restrictions, combined with the significant contact tracing requirements that the club will need to follow mean that reinstating club activities will become an onerous task requiring a much larger weekly volunteer uptake, significant cost, and a reorganisation of the structure of our current programmes.

For this reason, the committee has agreed that all club activities will remain suspended until 1 September 2020.

We can all agree that we all share the same common goal – getting out on the water for some sailing, and the best part about level 2 is that this is an option for everyone.

We encourage you to use the rigging up area next to the club and and enjoy each other's company once again.

RS Feva World Championships 2019/2020
13.05.20

"The International RS Feva Class Association, New Zealand RS Feva Class Association, RS Sailing and Manly Sailing club representatives recently met via Zoom to discuss the 2021 RS Feva World Championships due to take place 26th December 2020 – 2nd January 2021.
All representatives agreed that given the current international situation with respect to COVID19 we should postpone the New Zealand RS Feva World Championships for a minimum of 12 months.

The provisional dates are now late December 2021/early January 2022.

With so much uncertainty around international travel and the restrictions that may be enforced, we will be monitoring and reviewing the situation. We hope we will be in a position to finalise the details towards the end of 2020.
Thanks go to the team from Manly SC and the NZL Class Association for all their passion, dedication and hard work on this event so far."

We look forward to seeing even more Fevas out on the water utilising the extra 12 months training we all now have!
