Class Association Marine Insurance
Extremely diverse, Class Associations represent the interests associated with a particular design of boat.
From organising competitions through to the building and maintenance of the boats, class associations cover all types of sailing and form the backbone of activity at a vast majority of clubs – especially when it comes to racing.
Sailing Class Associations, like many marine trade organisations, require business insurance but it can be hard to determine the exact coverage required to mitigate the risks that the business faces.
Here at Stoneways Marine, we have always been passionate supporters of both social and competitive sailing and can help assess your risks to tailor coverage to your unique circumstances, providing peace of mind.
From simple comparison quotes ranging all the way through to a full review of your risks and needs, get in touch with Stoneways Marine’s experienced team today to find out more about our tailored Class Association marine insurance policies and request a no-obligation quote.
