Teifi row Friday 26/02/21

[Christine]

I would like to take a teifi out on Friday. Think this is allowed but let me know if I'm wrong.  I will head towards marker keeping to  Hayling Island side. Christine

I know that use of our club facilities (and equipment on site) is not presently allowed, Christiine, (whether or not they are on private property) - other than for essential repair or maintenance. This hasn't been explicitly stated on our site (yet) but has been by every other harbour club, and by the ara, cc, rya, r n l I etc. so I think I'm right.
See ara covid document version 10 or later

It's a great shame, and I for one have regretted not being able to get out on the water - but am now looking forward to seeing other troglodytes emerging from their caves to brave the waters on the 29th of March ( or possibly a little later if Boris' calculations go awry!).

Thanks Nigel for that information.

Hi Christine. We are allowing Teifi rows for individuals or same household who are within the local area

The harbourmaster is happy for people to excercise

But not using club facilities!

Latest update -section 1a (and extended and reinforced in several other places) of ara rowing guidance.....
" * Personal Exercise during lockdown and Step 1a
Whilst personal exercise is permitted once a day, with club facilities shut rowing will only be possible if:

you are able to safely access, launch and recover your boat without accessing your club (e.g. stored at home and launched from a public space);
if you are able to do this without leaving your local area;
in a single or single household/support bubble crew; and,
if the relevant waterway authorities permit recreational boating.
Particularly, given the current cold weather conditions, we would recommend carefully considering your risk assessment before exercising in this way. As a rowing community, we do not want to put any additional pressure on emergency services having to rescue rowers or treat the effects of cold exposure.
