At Soak Insure, we are passionate about supporting the next generation of sailors as they navigate their journey from port to podium. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our partnership with the UK 29er Class Association, offering its members a 10% discount on annual travel insurance policies*.
Protecting Young Sailors on and off the Water
Sailing at the 29er level is an exciting yet demanding challenge, requiring skill, dedication, and travel—whether for training or international regattas such as 2025 Worlds and Europeans in Portugal and Italy, the Youth Sailing Worlds, or EuroCup Series. We understand that young sailors and their families need comprehensive insurance cover that extends beyond the water.
With Soak Insure, UK 29er Class Association members can access a range of travel insurance policies, ensuring peace of mind during sailing trips, skiing holidays, and general family holidays. Whether you’re heading to an overseas regatta, hitting the slopes for some cross-training, or simply enjoying a well-earned break, we’ve got you covered.
Simon Tonks, Founder of Soak Insure, expressed his pride in partnering with the UK 29er Class Association, saying: “We at Soak Insure are incredibly proud to partner with the UK 29er Class Association, supporting the next generation of sailing talent. This partnership reflects our commitment to the sport and its dedicated athletes, ensuring they have the protection they need to pursue their passion with confidence. Having had one child recently age out of the fleet and a daughter currently in the fleet, the 29er class is a fantastic and exhilarating class. However, every so often, there can be injuries which require some form of medical assistance. Getting the right travel policy in place must be one of the first things crossed off the list when planning overseas events.”
