The exclusion zone is in place to allow both sailors and fishermen to enjoy their sports with the minimum of disruption to each other. Breaching the limits either accidentally or inadvertently is taken very seriously by both the club and the Estate. If you fall foul of the rules, please go and apologise to the fishermen in the first instance. If you have damaged their equipment, or they have lost tackle, then offer to pay for it. I don’t want to hear of incidents being reported to the Estate when grown adults should be able to sort things between them.
Be under no illusion, sailing licences will be revoked or suspended by the Estate and membership withdrawn by the Club Committee if rules continue to be flouted.
Commodore.
