Dear Members,
The situation regarding on-water activity, specifically sail racing, has been clarified more succinctly by government representatives early this morning.

In short, sport and recreation has said:
  • “Wear masks where possible, like before and after, during rigging and de-rigging, in change rooms.”
  • “It is reasonable to wear a mask on a 30ft’er example: for a twilight or racing before the start.”
  • “The government wants people out and conducting recreation, for all the obvious mental health and physical well-being benefits.”
In all of this, the catch-cry from the Government has been use common sense, at all times.

While we transition out of the COVID Lockdown, SoPYC can gladly advise that the following activities will still go ahead but without any post-race presentations:

Wednesday 10 February 2021
Jane Brook Wines Midweek Summer Series^
Twilight Series

Friday 12 February 2021
DF95 Series

Saturday 12 February 2021
Division 1 Saturday Series *
Division 2 Saturday Series **
SS27 Saturday Series
H28 Saturday Series
Division 3 Saturday Series***

Viper 640 Saturday Series****

Sunday 13 February 2021
OTB Non-Consistency Races



^ The scheduled Division 1 Spinnaker race will be postponed and will be replaced with a normal jib & main consistency race for this week.
* Division 1 race is no longer an Invitation race.
** Originally scheduled as an Invitation race at RFBYC, Division 2 will now race at SoPYC this Saturday.
*** Division 3 race is no longer an invitation race.
**** As the Viper Short Course racing has been postponed, Vipers are invited to join in the afternoon Saturday Series.

The following events scheduled for this Saturday morning have been postponed to a later date yet to be determined:

Saturday 12 February 2021
Viper Short Course Series - postponed
S97 Windward Leeward Series - postponed
S80 Swan River Championships – postponed

Please note that these arrangements may change with a minimum of notice if there is a further community spread Covid-19 case reported.

If all goes to plan, this transition will end this Sunday 14th February 2021 at 12:01am and we can hopefully return to normal scheduled club activities.

Kind Regards,
South of Perth Yacht Club
