John H has been circulating several sets of results lately, particularly on the WhatsApp groups. But, for historical accuracy and just in case you haven’t seen them all they are all available on the Results 2020 website page. Look for the red (new) indicators.
The 2020 SWSC sailing calendar has been amended to reflect the return to sailing and ongoing Coronavirus situation. See the Sailing Calendar 2020 page for full details.
See the Results 2020 page for the results of the Scammonden Cup held on Sunday 31st May.
Socially distanced sailing returned at SWSC on Spring Bank Holiday Monday, so just in time to squeeze in one day of the Spring Bank Series. See the race results on the Results 2020 page.
Yorkshire Water has confirmed that sailing can now resume at Scammonden Water as long as Covid-19 risk mitigation is strictly observed in line with government directives.

Obviously it is hoped this situation will not last too long, but as yet we simply don’t know. Let’s just hope for the best!! Many thanks for your continued support and understanding in these difficult times.

Following the week’s, and particularly this afternoon’s developments, Scammonden Water Sailing Club has regrettably come to the conclusion that, with immediate effect, all organised activities at SWSC including social, racing and training are postponed until further notice.
UK Government information
However, in support of the health and wellbeing advice issued by the UK government it is agreed that ad-hoc sailing can still continue at Scammonden Water but it is essential that all sailors comply with government guidelines on frequent hand washing and social distancing. This must include on and around the water as well as the OD hut, changing rooms and clubhouse facilities.
Ad-hoc sailing sessions will be communicated using our club member’s WhatsApp groups. If sailing is to take place a manned safety boat must be launched and ready.
Please act responsibly and follow government advice. If you are displaying any symptoms or believe you may be a risk, follow the self-isolation process and do not visit the club.
Many thanks for your support and understanding and let us all look forward to enjoying the activities of the club again when this situation has ended, hopefully soon!
