Support for your Class Association from Noble Marine

by Jonathan Langford, Noble Marine 15 Mar 2006 11:11 GMT

Class Associations are extremely important (both for the individual class and for the sport of dinghy sailing as a whole). An active class association can provide help for new and existing sailors, strong fleets for the racing, discounts on related products and many other benefits.

If nothing else, an active class association will maintain interest in the class and keep second-hand prices buoyant.

In essence, your class is there for you. If your association doesn't offer what you want or doesn't appear to provide value for money - Say something or better still – get involved.

Noble Marine has for many years provided support to a number of Class Associations. Part of this support is to offer discounted insurance premiums to members of some associations. The discounts can be obtained by following a special link on the respective class web site or by clicking on the relevant logo here.

If you are involved with an association, there may be ways in which Noble Marine can assist. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to discuss the possible ways in which we could help.
