Behind the scenes, the sailing club's Covid-19 Team have been working to gradually open up activities in compliance with current Covid-19 social distancing and other guidance.
A lot of the work involves risk assessments, policies and procedures, all carefully documented and covering expected phases of increasing activity.
Currently we are stuck with a lack of water level in the lake that makes in impossible to launch boats safely.
Once the water is back there are challenges such as how to socially distance if a boat capsizes and can't easy be righted again. The solution is the latest bit of kit to arrive: a rope ladder that a sailor can climb into the safety boat without any other assistance, staying a good distance from the driver

The protection of the personal data of our members and visitors is duty that Etherow Country Park Sailing Club accepts willingly.

We do all we can to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation that was brought into effect in the spring of 2018.
