Editor-in-Chief Luca Oriani’s opinion: “The boat is like a home and the open sea is the safest place in the world. Get us back on board!” Let us know with a comment if you agree….
Better to say it now before it happens. We would not want lawmakers, caught up in the rush to enact the regulations of the reopening phase toward a return to life away from home, to forget about us boaters.
The real risk is that boating will be lumped in with sports activity involving “gathering of people” and thus be kept among the last activities that will be allowed again in the era of the coronavirus pandemic.
That would be a huge mistake. The boat should be combined with the regulations governing houses. Because the boat is nothing more than a houseboat. Therefore, when it will be allowed to move from one house to another, as in the case of second homes, the use of the sailboat be equally given the green light to use it.
