Liabilities cover

This cover helps to protect the club and its committee against the cost of a claim made against you following injury to someone else or damage to their property. 

British Rowing requires its affiliated clubs to protect themselves and their committee in respect of their liability to others.

Depending on your liability requirements these can be included within the boats & equipment and premises policies. 

Asset protection cover

The Elite Rowing policy has been designed to reflect the specific needs of individual rowing boat users and rowing clubs and can provide cover for: 

  • Loss or Damage to Your Boats & Equipment Specified on the Policy Schedule 

The boats and equipment of a Club are valuable assets and cover is provided for all risks of damage including collision, fire and theft. In addition, the policy provides cover for loaned or hired boats. 

Please note that the Sums Insured provided by this policy in respect of the boats and equipment are on an “Agreed Value” basis and not “Market Value” at time of loss i.e. we do not make a deduction for wear, tear or depreciation.
