Dear Commodores, GMs and Sailing Managers,

We have received an update that recreational boating is now allowed. Further information on this can be found at: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/sport-and-exercise#can-i-participate-in-recreational-activities-like-fishing

Below is an extract from the website.

Can I participate in recreational activities like fishing and boating?

Recreational fishing and boating are permitted as long as it doesn't require use of a facility (the opening of a closed jetty or pier) and within 5km of your home for up to 2 hours once per day, and with members of your household or 1 other person.

This means access to club facilities is not allowed.

Any boating activities are required to meet the 5 reasons to leave home direction. They are; https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covidsafe-settings

• shopping for necessary goods and services
• care and caregiving, or to get a COVID-19 test
• exercise (no more then 2hrs a day with 1 other person)
• authorised work and permitted study
• to get a COVID-19 vaccination.
