- At the half year stage, the Club reported a Combined Ratio of 96.2%, with anunderwriting surplus of US$ 4.3m.
- Both claims from the Club’s Membership and to the International Group Pool havebeen lower than expected which has offset the impact of inflation.
- However, there has been a steady increase in the level of claims from the yachtsector including a number of significant claims in the superyacht sector from theClub’s Membership.
- Inflation will be influential and increases in reinsurance costs for the next year willbe expected.

- The Managers will review Members’ claims records and operational risks, whenapplying commensurate adjustments in premiums and terms where appropriate.This may include further adjustments to deductible levels.
