That would be the insurance company, and the discounted rate charged to the OA is a benefit of US Sailing.
Mike
Hate to burst your bubble but we quit using Chubb (US Sailing insurance provider) regatta insurance because it was too expensive and found a provider that gave the same coverage for less so the Chubb arrangement isn't really a benefit. Have ever noticed that Chubb never makes the cut when someone asks about insuring their boat? Why is that? Come on Mike I know you need to beat the US Sailing drum but now it's just starting to get ridiculous. Stop pimpin the stuff we can't use and start working on the things we need!
So Dave....are you saying that with the thousands of boats of members in USS, we can't get a better deal than just going on the internet and working our own deal? I thought there would be a discount because of volumn and or association with USS. Hmmm....and people pay dues for what? I even bet there are agents on this thread that would love to write the business and give a great discount for couple thousand sail boats.
