NEW Liability Insurance for Sailing Schools

In the past it has been difficult and/or expensive for independent sailing schools to find good liability coverage.   Many have operated these businesses under the assumption that they were protected under the the Sail Canada excess liability coverage for instructors.   Certified Instructors and coaches  registered with Sail Canada have coverage for individual but this doesn't necessarily extend to a sailing school or business they operate.

"Sailing schools registered with their Provincial Sailing Association will see significantly lower premiums..."

If an instructor is also the sole proprietor of a sailing school they have a liability exposure as the instructor and also as owner of the business.  To ensure they have proper protection from liability claim both entities need to be covered.  This is why CG&B  developed a new liability policy just for independent sailing schools.

To issue training certificates a sailing school needs to be registered with their PSA's.  These registered businesses are the most professional and best run independent school in Canada.    Our program recognizes this commitment to excellence with significantly reduced premiums.  The premium savings will often be much more than the cost to register with the PSA.
