GJW Direct, the UK’s largest direct boat insurer, is delighted to announce a sponsorship and support package with the Nick Craig – YJA Yachtsman of the Year, 2011.
Nick is the current and 5 times World, 8 times National & Inland OK Champion, 2011, and 5 times RS400 National Champion and Winner of the Endeavour ‘Champion of Champions’ trophy that he has won 6 times. Along with 3 times Enterprise World & National Champion and National titles in many other classes, these results have to put him amongst one of the all-time best Dinghy sailors in the world.
When asked about the link with GJW Direct Nick commented, “It’s great to see an alternative and cost effective Dinghy Insurance company enter the market that is run by people who really know what they are talking about. Having all my boats covered under one policy makes things so much easier. I’m really looking forward to working with these guys.”
Beating the likes of Ben Ainslie and Dee Caffari to the title of Yachtsman of the Year 2011 proves that none professionals like Nick, who holds down a full time (ish!) job and is the father of twins, can compete with the best both on and off the water.
His new sponsors GJW Direct launched their, ‘all-inclusive’ dinghy insurance scheme earlier this year, where they claim that everything comes as standard. Their policy includes full racing risk cover, transit and trailer cover, refund of race entry fee, kit bag and contents cover and new for old on all items.
