maximdog Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Help? In order to organise the Mallacoota Regatta, October 3,4, it seems that: - we need a Waterway Event Permit from Gippsland Ports - that requires proof of $5mill public liability insurance - insurance quote is $3000+ How do other clubs cope with these requirements? Following instructions from Yachting Aus., we've prepared Draft Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions, Emergency Plan and Entry Form. The Shire Council is keen to help, with grant funding possible. They require a non-profit group to apply, in order to be eligible for the grant. At this stage we have an informal group, "the Mallacoota Boat Club", but are still negotiating with "the Mallacoota Sailing Club Inc", whose committee has basically retired and haven't responded. Any suggestions? Cheers Maxim & Tony Mallacoota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti2300 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 You require all entrants to have suitable cover on their own vessels and get around the problem in this manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti2300 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Continued..... But the club that is organising the regatta also needs to have sufficient insurance and there is no real way to get around this. You could probably try a few of the insurance brokers but I suspect that without a properly constituted and incorporated club, that costs are always going to be a major consideration.

humungus2 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Our club has to do a aplication evey year. This is just to have our normal races. We deal with NSW Waterways Authority, Council, National Parks, Fisheries and the Lands Department. The insurance costs about $1,200.00 per year. This allows us to run regattas as well. Once all the paper work is done. Copy it for the next year. A huge pain in the arse but you gota do what you gota do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topscan Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Maxim & Tony, Have you thought to affiliate yourself / your group /your event with an existing club? Run the regatta under there banner! Just a thought Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 thats not bad mick considering the claim that the club had a few years back with the drunk bloke and the chain across the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
