Do any of you have third party liaibility, if so which companies do it, as in todays world people always look for somebody to sue in the event of an accident. Colin

HI Darnsarf would that cover you for running into a swimmer with your yak, or is it only for accidents caused while fishing say hitting somebody while casting. Colin

Dont have the small print with me but would suggest the later.

 

Obvoiusly dont paddle as quick as you. If I hit a swimmer Ill just call it a rescue

 

Its a good question though.

When this matter was raised last summer it appeared that insurance whilst paddling and manouvering to and from launch could be gained by joining the British Canoe Union and thus 'Belt and Braces' was to join both organisations. It was pointed out that membership of the British Field Sports Association also gives some cover too. Joining organisations that afforded cover seemed to be the best and cheapest route to securing suitable third party insurance until off-the-shelf policies covering all aspects of kayak fishing were available from brokers.
