Insurance
We have had some feedback from our insurers and would like to report the following:The club insurance is liability only – it covers us for items such as, incorrect setting out of courses, accidental damage caused to property. It does not cover the skier for participation. That said as we are not skiing above 60mph and not for prize money the skier is able to be covered by the boat insurance. All boat owners need to ensure that their boat has cover that includes a skiers liability and that it is for a sufficient amount. You will also need to check with your insurance company that you will be covered for racing – you will need to explain that you are not racing above 60mph and that it is not for prize money. I have verified with Club marine that their boat insurance will cover the type of activities that we hold. Nautilus also has a good cover but we would encourage all boat owners to check their cover. The club will incorporate into our new membership forms a small question section on insurance that will include – Policy #, Company, Comprehensive/Liability Cover, Including Skiers Cover, Amount and expiry date. This will aid boat owners in ensuring they have the right cover.
