having phoned the relavent authoritys and reading the rya guidance its nothing has changed yet, i was hopefull as maintenance afloat will be able to start.
i understand the frustration as i seem to be the only one adhering to it but its not long now.

Having checked the British marine federation site who have now updated their guidance after the latest briefing, maintenance on private vessels or second homes etc has not changed I will of course keep checking and seeking guidance, if any one finds guidance that has changed please let me know ASAP

Having had my judgment questioned again today over interpretation of the current guidelines (which I'm upset about) here is the government guidance, so unless a vessel is a danger to life or limb I have to continue my current stance or face the possibility of a £10000 fine as a business in breach.
I can only thank the majority of my customers for the support you have shown so far.

Continuing to check on the guidance defra and other official bodies it seems nothing has changed.
It is as frustrating for you as it is for me as I am also restricted in other areas of my business not just the boatyard.
I've had requests for individual persons to come in for various reasons and myself and George can only give the same answer.
We understand your needs and will be checking vessels constantly if something needs doing let us know.
