Racing dinghy insurance protects your finances if your boat is damaged or stolen. It can also cover you if you’re deemed liable for injuring another person or damaging third-party property.
When armed with a racing dinghy insurance policy, you can sail and race with peace of mind.
Take a look at the Insurance Product Information Document for full details of the racing dinghy insurance.
It’s a real no-brainer when it comes to learning why boaters choose sailing or racing dinghies as their boat of choice—nothing compares to the feeling of being out on the waves with the wind speeding you onward.
But as with any outdoor activity, there’s always the chance that something could go wrong. Taking out racing dinghy insurance can help you feel reassured in the worst-case scenarios.
Say a big gust causes a capsize and you break your mast during a race—it’s a disappointing way to lose, but it’s even worse if you have to pay to replace it yourself. Or you could be unlucky enough to have an accident whilst towing your dinghy to an event.
Specialist dinghy insurance could cover the damage in both circumstances, so you can return to competing in no time.
