Yes, but I have to tell them when I race. I have declared occasional club races. Of course the rig risk increases, so they lower the cover to 66% for racing.
Thats about it.

Yes but damage to the rig while racing is excluded unless it occurs as the result of stranding, collision, or a few other causes.
Basically I'm not covered for overstressing the rig while racing; but it's a masthead rig built like the proverbial masonry facilities and regularly inspected, so I don't think I'm taking too much risk myself.

Suggest you've got your rig undervalued.

You must allow for everything going over the side. Mast, boom, spinnaker pole, standing and running rigging, mainsail, genoa, spinnaker, electronics, etc, etc.
