Health and Safety / 2020 Schedule

 Local & Provincial Guidelines: In addition to the requirements set out in this document all sailors are required to follow and comply with all relevant City of Richmond and Province of B.C. health guidelines while sailing at Imperial Landing. SRCSC radio controlled model yacht sailing is considered to be an outdoor sport for the purposes of referencing health guidelines. 

 Whether to attend: It is vital that sailors who are unwell or may have been exposed to someone who may be afflicted with COVID-19, or who have any symptoms of contagious illness, refrain from attending SRCSC gatherings. 

Notice: Any competitor who has reason to believe that they may have attended an SRCSC gathering while infected with a communicable illness including the COVID-19 virus shall promptly notify their Fleet Captain. 

Information: The SRCSC will record your participation and contact information and may share it with health authorities as required for contact tracing purposes. Members and guests in attendance will be recorded by the fleet leader and retained for possible trace back purposes.

Compliance: The Executive of SRCSC takes COVID-19 safety very seriously. Any sailors not complying with the rules as set out herein may be excluded from future participation in club gatherings. Any sailor witnessing another member in non-compliance is encouraged to respectfully point out the concern to the offending sailor who is then obliged to comply with this policy. Disputes between individuals should be brought to the attention of the fleet leader with no fear of reprisal. If not resolved on the spot the issue should be brought to the attention of the Fleet Captain of that boat class.

Number of Participants: There are no COVID related limits on the number of participants.

Non-event day informal sailing at Imperial Landing: Club members sailing at the Imperial Landing venue on non-event days are expected and required to follow the guidelines set out herein as well as SRCSC’s general Safety Plan.

Physical Distancing: the current Provincial Health Order no longer requires a minimum physical distance be maintained between participants. However, participants are still encouraged to maintain a two metre distance from other participants.

Masks: the current Provincial Health Order no longer requires the use of face masks in outdoor sport events. Nevertheless, this COVID Safety Plan does still require face masks to be worn on the Imperial Landing pier and docks as an extra layer of protection.

Liability: The SRCSC and its members accept no liability arising directly or indirectly from participation in club events.

Bear with us: These rules are provisional and will be modified as required as we learn more. It will take all of us in cooperation to allow us to sail. Please keep your class fleet captain informed of your views on what works and what doesn’t and monitor the SRCSC web site for changes to these rules and to the schedule.

Liability: The SRCSC and its members accept no liability arising directly or indirectly from participation in club events.
