CarpeDiem 507 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Common sense has prevailed. SportNZ and YNZ have announced that no physical distancing limits or mask mandates will apply to people participating in sporting activities such as yacht racing. Auckland clubs have started advertising a busy summer of races, kicking off on December 3rd. https://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/clubs/covid-19-latest-updates 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 217 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Doesn't state whether you have to show vaccine pass to crew on a keelboat. But does state vaccine pass required to have a large prizegiving indoors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 709 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think that would be up to the skipper, dont ask dont tell all the way to show me your papers. Most keelboat clubs will be pretty conservative but I cant see it going into the SI's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubbles are gone. Recreational sports teams are considered a gathering. Distancing requirements within a gathering is gone. Gatherings at Level RED can have up to 25 unvaccinated people so long as the total space available to the gathering is at least 1m2 per person Or 100 vaccinated people so long as the total space available to the gathering is at least 1m2 per person You can also have multiple gatherings at a location but the gatherings have to stay separate and have the above space requirement per gathering. I think any boat would be hard pushed to have more crew than m2 of deck space. Maybe a piedy loaded for a piedy party? We don't have any race yachts in NZ that would have over 25 crew... So fundamentally, that means that a boat yacht racing doesn't have a mandated vaccination requirement - but that will change when heading back to the club room.

waikiore 438 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 we have only double jabbed on board no issue, all sit alfresco after race for refreshments all good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 390 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 SSANZ Evolution Northern Triangle will be a fully vaccinated event under these rules We will also need to amend requirements to split briefings and prize givings to stay under the 100 as this stands On the good side is with the traffic light system regions will be open and we will just have to abide by the level at the stops 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
