Dear fellow sailors,
We hope that you and your families and friends are and continue to stay healthy during this difficult time.
On Tuesday April 7th the executive committee had a teleconference to discuss club activities in light of the pandemic. The unanimous opinion of the club officers is that the club should cancel all activities for the 2020 sailing season. With social distancing being the number one tactic in combating the transmission of the disease, we feel that we should not get together to plop our moorings. Experts warn that this pandemic will likely come in waves until the time that a vaccine can be widely distributed. Our thinking is that even if conditions improved and we could safely put our moorings out in the late spring or early summer, conditions could later deteriorate making pulling them unsafe. To be clear, it is the decision of the executive committee that no moorings should be placed on the lake this season by club members. If you use the lake this season, you should follow Great River Hydro’s rules that apply to all those who are not members of The Windham Sailing Club. In the event that there is some significant change in public policy regarding the pandemic, the EC may reconsider this decision.
