Extract from a letter from Y insurance explaining premium increase (discussed on the mobo forum where it hasn't been edited for max wind up value )

Another reason for high claims comes from sailing yachts racing. We are no longer covering those seriously racing, and those who have local club racing agreed on their Certificates will have an additional 10% added to their premium.
