In several threads there is concern that boat owners are not getting what they have paid for because of the lockdown.
Is there anyone high up in the RYA food chain who can coordinate a high level review of the situation to see if our national organisation can reach an agreement with marinas and yards that "force majeure" is in place, and that the lockdown of our boats should not attract continuing charges beyond a normal launch date.
As I see it, if a marina continues to charge monthly fees, and the owner is not allowed access, then the marina is profiting beyond reason. It is analogous to being charged for parking in an empty car park, where the park owner is not needing every space to derive income.
