XL Catlin and the America’s Cup Event Authority (ACEA) have agreed a global partnership that sees XL Catlin being named the Official Insurance Partner of the 35th America’s Cup and the Presenting Partner of the America’s Cup Volunteer Program.
“We’re delighted to welcome XL Catlin to the America’s Cup family,” said Dr. Harvey Schiller, the Commercial Commissioner of the America’s Cup.
“Their close involvement with the volunteer and educational programs for the 35th America’s Cup is especially appreciated as this is such an important factor in the success, community spirit and legacy of our event, starting with the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Bermuda next week.”
“We’re proud to join the America’s Cup as the Official Insurance Partner and particularly as the sponsor for the Event’s various volunteer programs. XL Catlin is a global brand that stands for tackling complex risk through expertise and innovation – the attributes that have long been a must for success across the America’s Cup schedule. And now, with Bermuda playing host, where XL Catlin has deep roots, we find the timing perfect to further build our brand through this partnership, and support the island and this exciting event,” said XL Catlin CEO Mike McGavick.
The America’s Cup Volunteer Program, presented by XL Catlin will see over 250 volunteers contributing to the success of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Bermuda from October 16th – 18th and will continue right through to the America’s Cup Finals, presented by Louis Vuitton in June 2017.
