The 14th edition of the Seldén SailJuice Winter Series gets going in less than two weeks' time with the Fernhurst Books Draycote Dash on 19 & 20 November 2022.

Aside from the main contest for overall honours, there are lots of other category competitions including 'Top Class', which is based on taking the best three results from each class in each individual race of the Series. Craftinsure.com returns as a category sponsor of the the Seldén SailJuice Winter Series, this time as supporter of 'Top Class' as well as subsidising the travel and running costs of Series photographer Tim Olin who captures hundreds of photos of competitors during the course of the winter championship.

At the helm of Craftinsure.com is Rob Cage who has won a few championships in his long years of dinghy racing. Most weekends Rob is racing either his ILCA, Scorpion or Merlin Rocket, and each winter usually competes in a couple of the events in the Seldén SailJuice Winter Series.

"It's great to see so many of the different classes that we insure, out competing throughout the winter months," said Rob. "Run by dinghy sailors for over 20 years, Craftinsure.com is the UK's leading online boat insurer, offering you a quick and easy quote in 20 seconds, and a policy in 2 minutes.

"We aim to make boat insurance as effortless as possible with an easy to navigate website and app which allows you to make changes to your cover quickly and with ease. With 'New for Old' cover at competitive prices, Craftinsure insures over 25,000 boats with excellent customer reviews which you can read on Trustpilot."
