Getting Insurance cover to pull our boat trailer to race venues
A prerequisite to any race event is getting the boat trailer to the Regatta
or Head venue. This is straight forward when a suitable towing vehicle is owned
by a club member
who will be driving to the event. They will have annual
insurance cover for the vehicle including pulling the trailer, subject to
weight restrictions. The problem arises where the club needs to borrow a
vehicle to tow the trailer or add an additional
driver to club members car to help with long distance driving. At
Northwich rowing Club we have used
dayinsure
to buy a day or a few days cover for another car to tow the trailer or
to add a driver to share the drive. Recently this has worked very well for us and
enabled the use of borrowed a vehicle to get our large boat trailer complete with our Eights
to venues such as Dorney Lake, Thames (London) and the Boston Marathon when our normal towing vehicle was not available.
