A sad loss

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing away of Ray Corkhill, one of our members.  Ray passed away piecefully at Noble’s Hospital following a long battle with Illness. Ray was well-known by many as the former pub landlord of the Railway Inn in Union Mills. A good friend to many, always willing to help and good company.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Restart of sailing programme on the cards

The Charity Committee will meet on Wednesday 17th June, to discuss plans to restart our sailing programme as soon as possible.
As most of you will be aware, our Government will eliminate social distancing on the Isle of Man with effect from Monday 15th June. This follows from 22 days with no Covid-19 cases on the Island.
Our plans to restart sailing are likely to initially include a period of “refresh” for the crews who have not sailed for a while and we will also maintain some sensible hygiene related measures to ensure everyone stays safe and healthy. The re-start date still need to be decided.
Watch this space.....we will share the plans after the meeting on Wednesday.

limited leisure activities pleasure craft

We all have been waiting for the news that we can go sailing again. The good news is that leisure crafts are allowed to go out sailing again. The bad (or rather sad) news is that only people from the same household can sail together. In reality this means we all have to have a bit more patience before we can take you out on Pride of Mann III.
