Club Marine and AOPC Collaborate to Insure Race Boats on Land

Tim Wiles, CEO of Club Marine, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "We are delighted to enter into a new relationship with the Australian Offshore Powerboat Club. This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting the sport and strengthening our connection with passionate boating enthusiasts across Australia."

Previously, race boat owners faced challenges in securing insurance coverage for their vessels when not in use on the water. The new offering from Club Marine ensures that these high-performance boats are protected during periods of inactivity, providing peace of mind to owners and operators.

Antony De Fina, Commodore of the AOPC, highlighted the importance of this development: "Insurance like this had previously been non-existent. It's always a challenge with racing - we understand damage can occur under the pressures of competition, but it's the fear of damage during transit, or even worse, theft of equipment while stopped overnight or locked away in a factory, so this provides some welcome relief."

The coverage is specifically designed for race boats while they are on land and on their own trailers. This includes scenarios such as transportation to and from events, storage between races, and maintenance periods. By offering this tailored insurance product, Club Marine aims to support the growth and sustainability of powerboat racing in Australia.

For race boat owners interested in this new insurance offering, Club Marine provides detailed information and assistance through their official channels. This partnership underscores the company's dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the boating community and enhancing the safety and security of marine enthusiasts nationwide.
