As of 1/31/21 under the CA Dept. of Health Guidelines (and thus High School Sports including CIF & PCISA), the PCISA Board believes that Single-handed Sailing Competition can be allowed under the Purple Tier 1 (Widespread) of the CA Blueprint for a Safer Economy/Covid-19 Plan. Doubled-Handed Competitions are not permitted until the Orange Tier 3 (Moderate). Events are evaluated based on the PCISA Member School Population eligible to participate in an event. Thus, a NorCal would be allowed when all Counties North of San Luis Obispo that have PCISA Member Schools are in the Moderate Tier or below. SoCal's would be permitted when all Coastal Counties South of Monterey are in the Moderate Tier or below. District-wide events (Gaucho, Gold/Silver/Team PCC’s) will only be allowed when all counties where there are PCISA Member Schools are in the Moderate Tier or below.

Decision Date is a date for "Go – No Go" announcements for events and some fundamental format announcements. A variety of Format Changes are being considered (NO decisions have yet been made) to increase the likelihood of events being held and of course, to increase the safety of all events. Format changes being considered include: Silver Fleet One Day, Gold Fleet the other (NorCals & SoCals in particular); No boat rotations and less Division swapping (from A to B & back); Fleet Size Limits; Event Size Limits;

There will be a host of standard protocols published (usually by Decision Date) for all PCISA Events. Likely to include: Outdoor Only; Social Distancing; Masks on Shore; Group Gathering Size Limits; Etc.

Everything is subject to Federal, State & Local Requirements and the progression of the Covid-19 virus.

Should Double-Handed Sailing become unlikely before the end of the Spring Season additional Single-handed Events may be substituted for Double-handed Events.
