USCA
Insurance Rates Hold Steady & Maintains Coverage
For 2009 Event Liability Insurance Program
For Immediate Release Tarpon Springs, Florida – 1/13/09
At its 42nd Annual Meeting, the United
States Canoe Association (USCA) voted to keep its highly competitive
liability insurance rates for canoe race insurance and kayak race
insurance unchanged (low) for 2009. The USCA’s rates, among the most
competitive in the industry, have enabled race organizers to find
affordable liability insurance and keep the sport of canoe racing and
kayak racing active.
Canoe race insurance and kayak
race insurance brings important protection and peace of mind to canoe race
and kayak race organizers, and other parties involved in putting on a
canoe race or a kayak race, or other kind of canoe or kayak event.
The USCA also maintains a very
competitive program for canoe club and kayak club liability insurance.
USCA’s program has permitted member clubs to get year round insurance for all of
their activities, which also promotes both canoe racing and kayak racing,
as well as cruising, canoe camping, and canoe and kayak tripping.
For further information,
please contact the USCA insurance administrator Maria Liquori at Jacka-Liquori Agency, at
