Boaters in San Diego County are working with officials to amend a public health order they say is unfair because it restricts who can come aboard private vessels during the pandemic, but does not apply to commercial operations.
The rule doesn’t apply to commercial ventures such as rental businesses, meaning a boat owner cannot take his friends out on his own boat, but can take them out on a rental, Thomas said.Bill Edwards, rear commodore of the San Diego Assn. of Yacht Clubs, was among several boaters who brought up the issue at the Aug. 4 county Board of Supervisors meeting. He noted that county Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten had acknowledged there had not been a single coronavirus case traced to boating.
After hearing several people speak on the issue Aug. 4, Supervisor Dianne Jacob agreed the rule did appear to be inconsistent, and she questioned whether the county had the authority to amend it.After recently submitting the proposed protocols to the state, the county is awaiting a response. As of Friday, the county had not heard back.
The association represents boating organizations and eight main clubs, from the Chula Vista Yacht Club in South Bay to the Oceanside Yacht Club in North County. The club also had to cancel its America’s Schooner Cup regatta, which each year raises between $30,000 and $35,000 for the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, she said.
Mallaby, who grew up in Sydney, Australia, has raced sailboats for more than 40 years and owns a 35-foot boat that requires a crew. While he can’t race from his own club, he has participated in regattas this summer in Orange County, which doesn’t have the same restriction.
