November Lockdown Update

Dear Gweek Classic Boat Yard Community,

Following the recent lockdown announced by HM Government on the 31st of October I wish to inform you of certain measures that will be implemented going forward. These have been made in discussion with stakeholders and with the interest of boat owners, residents and the Gweek Community in mind.

  1. We are maintaining the programme to bring all boats out of the water this week. From 0001 hours on the 5th of November 2020 the yard will be shut to boat owners. Please make sure that if there are tasks to be done to prepare your boat for winter, you complete them prior to this time. If you cannot do this the yard staff will be available to help you carry out any last minute tasks. We offer a check service, including electricity top up etc. Please contact the office for more information. With any boats that require to be craned after this date, owners will have a reasonable amount of time to prepare their boat for winter in the yard and take off any equipment.

  2. The toilets and showers will be only available to staff and residents.

  3. The office will remain open but no browsing in the chandlery. Please maintain the social distancing in place.

  4. The contractors on the yard will be able to continue working on their projects and in their sheds.

  5. The café will continue to offer take-away food and drink. This should be collected immediately and consumed off the yard. Café visitors are not to wander around the yard.

  6. There are to be no visitors or dog walkers onto the yard.

I realise this will be frustrating to many, as boat owners may wish to use this time of lockdown to work on their boats. However, we have to think of the wider community and consider what is allowable within the spirit of the lockdown measures. 

The office phone tends to get very busy during these periods. Please email info@gweekquay.co.uk and we will respond promptly.

Kind regards,

Mark Aichroth
