What is the go-to insurance at the moment that will cover dinghy racing in regattas?

For my Finn and International Canoe my insurance broker tacked them onto my boat insurance. Not sure what a claim would have been like but it did give me the $10M coverage I needed to race...

If you have home and contents insurance, many of these policies come with legal liability insurance that might do the job. My policy covers liability for persons and property up to $20m for (among other things) non-professional sport for boats that don't require registration (i.e. non-motorised in most cases). Check your PDS and avoid doubling up on unnecessary insurance. 3rd party only of course, if that is what you're looking for.

That sounds OK for sailing dinghies just flopping about. In a proper sailing regatta it might not satisfy the organizing committee. 3rd party is all I need with a public liability of 10 million. I tried some online quotes last night and no one seems overly interested. Some just do trailer sailors and if you have no engine the quote does not proceed!

I'm looking for insurance to cover three Finn's. Do you sail at JB?

Hi Ramona, haven't had the Finn for a while now, but a few of the guys here are trying to convince me to get back into it for the Masters Worlds...
