BOAT INSURANCE SCHEME
Insurics are no-longer offering boat insurance to PaddleNSW members.
In a letter to PaddleNSW Insurics states:
"I am sorry to advise you that the insurer for PaddleNSW, Associated Marine, has withdrawn from private pleasurecraft insurance.
Consequently we will not be able to invite renewal of policies after 31 October 2011. We will contact all existing policy holders and advise them. Associated Marine will of course honour all current insurance contracts until expiry of cover....."
PaddleNSW is in the process of negotiating insurance with another provider. We will advise members when we have arrangements in place. Please be assured that all current financial members who have boat insurance will continue to be covered by Insurics until their policy expires.
