And from today:
"all forms of water sports practiced on open waterways, including sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, rowing, kayaking, surfing, paddle-boarding and the use of privately-owned motorised craft (in line with the guidance issued by the relevant navigation authority) are allowed."
So there's nothing to stop you putting that smart-looking sail to good use on Ullswater or Windermere! [is a steam yacht a "motorised craft", though?]
ahh. I thought so too...but a few hours later I fell of a ladder (working on the transom) and fractured my skull! ...and to add insult to injury, while in Carlisle Infirmary an infected man was fetched into my "tested clear ward" - so now we are in quarantine for 2 weeks... :-( ...well by the time that quarantine is finished (and my head is sufficiently unscrambled). we will be at full stretch finishing and launching asap (at end of June by intent).... as to the "motorised craft" question, I guess it depends on if I light the boiler or raise the sail? Be assured however David, I will be hoping you can visit Windermere to help us learn to sail and set the rig, if that is possible...
Thanks again for your support so far David...
