Jervis Bay Sailing Club Regatta 2-3 October 2021 CANCELED DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS
The JBSC Race Calendar is currently on hold until local COVID RESTRICTIONS on Community Sport are lifted, possibly in Late October/Early November. Watch this space for any changes.
This suspension has meant a number of event changes:
- The GOF event at JBSC will be held on 13th November 2021 - 1.30 pm start (subject to reopening). The Back-Up date is 15th January 2022 - NOTE 10.30 am start.
- JBSC accepted the proposal to host Spiral Class Traveler's Trophy Event at JBSC on 19th March 2022 with Back-Up date of 2nd April 2022.
- JBSC is considering an open invitation regatta to be run in conjunction with one of these date (when selected) to try to fill the void left by the cancellation of the October Regatta. Details are yet to be finalised and it is only a thought bubble at this stage.
- Stay tuned for future updates
- All subject to COVID of course. Stay Safe.
COVID UPDATE
see this Australian Sailing Covid NSW LinkCan I go Sailing?
UPDATE: The new rules introduced on 13 September DO NOT apply to boats of any kind whereby:
- you can attend an outdoor gathering in a public space of up to 5 people for exercise or outdoor recreation (aged 16 years or over and fully vaccinated) DOES NOT relate to boating. See this COVID NSW link
- Boating is still limited to the same household members or if from different households a maximum of 2 people. Vessels are considered a 'premise' therefore this outdoor easing (for picnics) etc does not relate to vessels.

- A maximum of two people can go boating together, or more if they are all members of the same household.
- You must stay within the Local Government Area you live in (or the water adjacent to your LGA), or if going into a neighbouring LGA, no further than 5 kilometres from your home.
- Get in, go sailing, go home; keep your distance from others at your club, marina or boat ramp.
- Do not carpool with anyone outside your family
- Masks must be worn at all times, except when exercising.
- Can Clubs run sailing racing and training? No. Community sport is currently not permitted. This includes any racing or training activities ie club organised coaching or Learn-To-Sail programs.
- A boat ramp location is not a consideration, you must be within your LGA or 5km from your residence.
- Coastal Waters are included in the adjacent LGA or to anyone living within 5km. Police will treat coastal waters out to 3 nautical miles.
- A person cannot travel along a water system outside of their LGA or further than 5km from their residence to reach coastal waters
- Where a body of water (harbour) is bounded by several LGA’s a person may be on that main body of water but cannot travel through or past other LGAs to reach other rivers, estuary’s or open sea.

SAILPASS - Non-members can apply for temporary membership with JBSC to get a Sail Pass, usually for a day.
SailPass is a temporary membership class that enables crew to join JBSC for a day. Sail Pass provides applicants with an Australian Sailing Number and personal accident insurance cover and meets the requirements of Rule 46 of the Racing Rules of Sailing 2021 - 2024 for skippers and crew. It also covers non-sailing crew on the start boat and those who assist the club as Covid-19 marshalls and helpers in other ways. All participants at JBSC, on every day, must have current membership or a Sail Pass, and a current Australian Sailing Number.
