Paul Knox Johnston, UK Business Development Manager at MS Amlin commented, "With our West Malling office on the doorstep of so many of the races and the prize giving in the local Medway Yacht Club it made perfect sense to align with EAORA so that we can ensure that MS Amlin are looked upon as being not just an international boat insurer but also intrinsically linked with our local boating community"
