Dear sailors,
We hope everyone continues to stay well. We understand the frustration of not having a clear picture of what our summer may look like, but trust we are doing everything to offer you a safe and fun sailing program for the summer. We continue to make the health and safety of our sailors and staff our no 1 priority, and ask for your understanding and cooperation.
In order to comply with the COVID-19 government guidelines, and provide a safe and fun summer sailing season, we have made the following changes:

• registration will be limited to experienced, autonomous sailors
• each sailor will be assigned to a boat for a minimum of 3 consecutive weeks, and will be responsible for all its equipment and maintenance.
• if 2 sailors reside at the same address, they can share a boat

Given our one sailor one boat policy, registration requests will be considered according to the number of boats available. If you are interested in registering for this summer, please contact our head coach, Angus Aitken at: angus.aitken@me.com
Registration will only be complete once you have received an email confirming the weeks and boat assigned. 
Other changes:

• The program will run Monday to Thursday for all sailors
• Sailors are expected to race in the Sunday race, where they will have the chance to race their coaches
• Sailors will be divided into groups for the season, and will have separate on-land times and areas in order to comply with the 2m physical distance guidelines
• Each sailor must bring a face mask (or BUFF) and hand sanitizer to camp every day –we will be providing each sailor with an SBYC buff this summer instead of a t-shirt
• Camp will be cancelled if we experience bad weather and are unable to accommodate sailors on the water
• Each sailor and their guardian will sign a waiver and COVID-19 protocol agreement, and be expected to follow these guidelines at all times
• If a sailor fails to follow these guidelines, they will not be permitted to return to camp
