Worth knowing
Ovington Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Ovington builds high-performance dinghies that are sailed hard in training. Capsizing is part of it, and so is material failure. What is insured is the sudden breakage, not the fatigue of a component that has been in use for years. Anyone who replaces trapeze wires, sheets and fittings after the season stays on the safe side.
For youth and club boats it is worth looking at the clause on who may helm the boat. With changing crews the club solution is the clean way, it covers instruction, training and racing including support boats. On skiffs the personal accident cover belongs to it, the risk lies with the person, not with the boat.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is capsizing a claim?
The capsize itself is not, but the damage resulting from it is, such as a broken mast or hull damage.
How do I insure club dinghies?
Through the club solution, with changing helmsmen, instruction, training and support boats in a single contract.
