Hello all I am looking at insurance for this years season. I just got a quote with yacht line and found that they have snuck an 'only local club racing' clause in. I have also seen that I now have to have a certificate of competence to validate it. What good insurance company's are there ont there. Noble marine were very efficient when I lost my mast racing but I cannot pay monthly with them which i prefer to do
Who do people use?
Cheers Ant c

Ant We use Pantaenius with the Dragon I campaign and they have been great and really helpful when we have had a claim. The owner of the business sails and understands the situations we get into. www.pantaenius.co.uk/Paul

This makes 2 votes for GJW Direct. One thing you may like to know is that when insuring small boats like ours, they do not insist on a survey. Instead they ask for a condition report prepared by the Owner.

Things must have changed! I insured (claim-free) with Pantaenius for a number of years with previous boats (UFO31, Dubois 1/2 tonner, MG335), all of which were of sufficient value to have surveyed before purchase so producing a recent survey for insurance purposes was not an issue. When it came to a cheap and cheerful plywood boat , albeit professionaly built by Farrow, which I bought without having her surveyed, Pantaenius insisted on a survey from an accredited surveyor. I didn't get the same response from GJW Direct so I insured with them and have stayed with them since. All this happened around 5 years ago and it's obviously different now - but I can hold a grudge longer than anyone else I know!
