We will just have to wait a bit. I understand the French have banned sailing on the north coast at the moment, so we are likely to be met by a few men in black toting automatic weapons if we did go out for a little sail.

I though that lots of people were taking advantage of the good weather to take up boating from France to the UK.

In the report linked to above it states:

"People will be asked to provide the address at which they will self-isolate for two weeks upon arrival by filling out a digital form"

So how on earth are they gonna verify and police that then? And how many will they potentially infect on their way there?

Seems they do not feel that the regulations can be ignored

The rule being quoted over here is that you can sail within a 100km radius from your domicile ie not your port.

Really well what about the boat loss of people arriving at Dover every day?
