Dear Members,

The Victorian Premier has announced changes to Melbourne’s restrictions returning to Stage 4 Restrictions effective from midnight Friday 12th February until 11.59pm Wednesday 17th February 2021.

While MMYC does not have the definitive outcome for boating in the Melbourne area, the following points outline that Boating is not permitted and therefore all sailing and boating activities should cease until further notice:

   Community sport closed

   Indoor and outdoor sporting facilities closed

   Recreation activities such as Golf, fishing, boating, tennis, and surfing are not allowed

   Outdoor sport; only allowed to exercise with one other person or one member of your household

This effectively suspends all club activities both on and off-shore. The club premises are closed to all.

Please see the attached table of restrictions for more details. Click here for the attachment.

We understand the disappointment that this news brings, but please be assured that we will update you as further information becomes available.

Stay safe,

Dennis O’Hara

Secretary

on behalf of the Flag Officers and the Committee.
