Yacht Insurance Background
Ocean Racing - Extreme - Adventure - Cruising
For 25 years I have worked with some of the best professional yacht racing teams and major Race Event organisers providing Risk Management and Insurance consulting services, looking after the boats and the people.
These include America's Cup, Volvo Ocean Race, Extreme Sailing Series, GC32s, IMOCA Open 60s, Oman Sail, MOD70s, Rapido, Ocean Globe Race 2023, Shackleton Epic Expedition and many more.
My knowledge of professional racing team operations, logistics, construction, surveys, team member contracts, and sponsor requirements is unique and enables me to swiftly assess an organisation, and provide proactive advice based on this experience.
This experience and knowledge is all relevant and transferrable to the leisure market.
In 2013 the Volvo Ocean Race organiser appointed me as the preferred provider of Risk & Insurance Solutions in the 2014-2015 race. I worked with all the teams prior to and throughout the event. In the 2017-2018 Edition of the race I was again appointed and the package and services were mandatory for all teams participating. In 2023 the event changed to The Ocean Race 2023 - where I again worked with several of the participating teams.
