IMPORTANT NOTICE
Insurance cover shall be charged to the owner(s) at the rate of 2.35% of the sum to be insured.
* Your boat will not be insured if your registration form for a new boat is not received.
* You will not be eligible to enter any club races if your boat is not insured.
* Anyone participating in club races must be a member of the GRC.
THE INSURANCE POLICY COVERS:
1) BOATS for
* damage at sea including when towed by guardboats
* damage on land when towed by vehicles
* theft/damage when in the Boathouse or securely tied up e.g outside the Boathouse, in St Peter Port or at home.
EQUIPMENT
* trailer
Please note there is NO cover for any other equipment such as Oars, Life Jackets, Electronics etc.
There is a £500 policy excess on claims involving towing on water by other craft, or damage caused by coming off the roof of a vehicle due to failure of the straps/lines. The standard claim excess is £250.
2) THIRD PARTY LIABILITY cover of £2 million is funded under a separate policy by the GRC.
The policy specifically extends this cover to claims by one member against another even though we are all insured under the same policy.
Please notify a member of the committee as soon as there has been any damage to the boat or equipment, showing them the damage done. All claims must be notified within 30 days of the incident otherwise the claim will be rejected by the insurers.
Anyone wanting a copy of the Policy schedule, please ask Nicky Terry.
I. The insurance policy does not cover third party liability for accidents when being towed. Car drivers and guardboat owners should ensure that their policy covers this.
II. As with all insurance policies, you must behave prudently and reasonably. The easiest way of doing this is to forget that you are insured and behave as if you had to pay up personally for all damage/liability to others!
III. In the case of hulls, there is no policy excess in the usual sense (this is not relevant to damage whilst being towed). If the claim is for more than £250, it is paid in full.
