Coronavirus
The Scottish Government announcements on 28 May confirm that Phase 1 of its Routemap for progressing through the Covid-19 crisis is now cleared to move forward. Sailing is included in the list of outdoor sports for which qualified restart is approved, PRIMARILY AS AN EXTENSION OF ACCESS TO OUTDOOR EXERCISE. On 29 May RYA Scotland released a Guidance document for clubs (to which HSC is adhering) and a General Guidance document for "boaters" in general which you can read HERE.
HSC is now therefore in Phase 1 of re-opening, and the dinghy and car parking, and slipway and moorings access, are now available for use by members.
Note that the Clubhouse remains closed. You will need to come prepared - no changing rooms and no toilet or shower access at this stage. It is, however, a most welcome start.
