Moore Stephens Isle of Man who provide accountancy, consultancy and multi-sector wealth management services, in its capacity as presenting sponsors of the YachtInfo event in Fort Lauderdale, USA today announced its sponsorship of captain Jody Hill in his bid to represent the USA in the London 2012 Paralympics. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137171/image/large-22f5ad92040f72833ac2f0ddd201298a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137171">As lead sponsor for Jody, the firm will help him in his personal Go-For-Gold with essentials including logistics, website and social media, an improved boat, sails, other equipment and professional personal coaching, all to give him the edge over his competitors. “We consider it an honour to be supporting someone who will not give up and instead tries to help others,” said Clive Dixon, partner of Moore Stephens Isle of Man, “Jody is an inspiration to everyone, especially those dealing with physical challenges.” Jody was captain of sailing yacht FLICKA in 2006 when he was involved in a car accident on the Caribbean Island of Tortola, BVI. He was left paralysed from the chest down ending a 13 year professional career that had taken him all over the world. Worse still, he had no insurance which impacted on the treatment available to him. Once home he then underwent 100 days of hospitalisation and rehabilitation. Less than two years after becoming paralysed he was living on board a 24ft sloop helping others with disabilities cope via the freedom, thrill, serenity and feeling of independence and accomplishment that sailing brings him. “I’ve been sailing all my life and really couldn’t see why I should have to give up,” says Jody, “But I also understand first-hand what others in similar circumstances are going through, that’s why I set up Positive Sailing. I am truly blessed by Moore Stephens generous sponsorship and hope that I will do them proud.”Moore Stephens Charlotte Easton +44 (0)1624 662020 <a href="mailto:charlotte.easton@moorestephens.co.im?subject=Moore%20Stephens%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">charlotte.easton@moorestephens.co.im</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.moorestephens.co.im/">www.moorestephens.co.im</a>

Moore Stephens Isle of Man, providers of multi-sector wealth management services has today announced a comprehensive financial support service for Superyacht crew through one of its group companies, Moore Stephens Crew Benefits Limited. Speaking about the service line, Clive Dixon, managing director said, "While this was the logical next step in the development of the product, we actually ended up with a brand new offering powered by the International FlexiPlan retirement savings scheme. We listened to our clients who asked us to refine our existing product and the end result is a highly flexible client-focused way of managing crew benefits. Our clients wanted to be empowered to make investment decisions on the level of retirement savings they have, which is where the International FlexiPlan works perfectly." The comprehensive service which will incorporate a 24/7 helpline comes on the back of Moore Stephens' successful Superyacht registration, HR solutions and yacht owner services which had already expanded into yacht crew payroll. It includes:. Retirement savings plans, flexible and adaptable to a crew member's unique lifestyle, available in all major currencies. . Health insurance, including hazardous sport, piracy and kidnapping options, but always with Med-evac as standard. . Accident cover for dismemberment, permanent incapacity and death, among other options. . Flexible income protection and life insurance. "Our clients can either leave their retirement savings to be managed by their chosen provider or manage their own retirement savings using the investment funds available in the International FlexiPlan through a secure web-based platform. The International FlexiPlan has been specifically tailored with seafarers in mind. No other product on the market has been dovetailed to their needs in such a way. Our goal is to become a one-stop financial shop for crew, it's as simple as that," continued Clive. All crew become members of "Moore Stephens Crew Club" <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mscb.im">www.mscb.im</a> with a dedicated website and membership card which includes the telephone number of their personal 24/7 helpline. While the International FlexiPlan retirement savings scheme was designed by Moore Stephens Isle of Man to minimise fees and charges, including fund investment fees, so that the saver gets a low cost solution to their retirement savings need, other services such as banking and insurance were arranged through strategic alliances with international banks and specialist providers with an international perspective. Bransom Bean, Director of Moore Stephens Crew Benefits Limited, who project managed the offering, said, "We sourced specialist underwriters to provide a truly comprehensive global coverage scheme including global air Med-evac, piracy and ransom and coverage in the USA." He explained the rationale by stating, "Our brief was to design an ultra low-cost, fully flexible, international insurance product with the unique lifestyle of a yacht crew member in mind. This is a perfect fit for us as well - what could be more international than Superyachts?"
