The recent London Boat Show was almost set adrift after a state-of-the-art windsurfing pool collapsed shortly before the show was due to start, emptying thousands of litres of water on to the Docklands site.

The event insurer Insurex Expo-sure has set aside £200,000 for interruption-related claims, after the flood caused the windsurfers to lose several days of practice time and resulted in the curtailment of some of the Boat Show's events.

Insurex Expo-sure claims director Paul James said: "The windsurfers did lose several days practice, but we are just pleased the event went off smoothly after the pool was repaired."

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
