We have put together some standards to ensure we are sailing covid smart.

1. Have you experienced any of the following symptoms over the past 14 days?
   • Cough, Fever, High temperature, Sore throat, Runny nose, Breathlessness or flu like symptoms. 
2. Have you been diagnosed with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 infection in the last 14 days ?
3. Are you a ‘close contact’ of a person who is a confirmed or suspected case of Covid-19 in the past 14 days? (ie. Less that 2m for more than 15 minutes accumulative in 1 day)
4. Have you been advised by a doctor to self-isolate at this time?    
5. Have you been advised by a doctor to cocoon at this time?       

We are currently following the following guidelines on board (these may change as government and Irish Sailing recommendations and guidelines are updated …

• Sailors carry their own personal small hand sanitiser
• Boat will have sanitiser on deck, below deck and in the heads.
• Request the wearing of buffs (neck scarfs) that can be pulled up quickly and easily if 2 sailors find themselves within 2 meters of another sailor in a physically straining situation.
• The boat will be cleaned thoroughly before you board. 
• All crew (and skipper) will clean their hands and surfaces regularly.
• Seating at mealtimes to on deck and if the weather doesn’t not permit this, then well spaced out in the saloon.
• No going ashore to busy areas (i.e. bars, restaurants).
• A respect for each other’s space
• If a sailor should become ill during the sail, they report it immediately to the skipper and they will be brought ashore and for collection by land to be arranged.
• Wear your own sailing gear where possible, 
• Have your own water bottle for drinking
• A labled mug will be made available and allocated to each sailor for the duration of the trip or bring your own keep cup.
• Any personal waste should be disposed of securely in your own refuse bag in the cabin or in the heads swing bin.
• Jessy will not sail if the weather is shows a forecast of high winds that will put the boat at any kind of risk or put the sailors in a position that will likely lead extreme difficulties to socially distance.
