ouch!! At least they got to your boat!! We were watching some laser sailing at Farmoor this weekend and the safety cover was appaling............ One of the Lasers death rolled and the guy fell out. The boat went screaming off downwind on its side and flipped a few times, about 4mins after he fell out it crashed into the sides with him still floating somewhere out in the middle. Only then did the rib go out to pick him up and get the boat off the wall (they casually sauntered over to the rib - hardly rushing). If it wasn't for a few members of public it would have been smashed but they reduced the damage by trying to hold it off the rocks. A lot of the 600 sailors that were there will agree that it was awful and didn't exactly fill us with confidence!! Rant over!! Edited by GBR884 |

the boom just snapped in a big gust with a huge BANG. the main was done when the resuce boat kindly drove over my sail. they also managed to drive over my halyard and get that around the prop. i had warned them about both and shouted to stay away but never mind |

point made, quality and good service. how many other insurance companies would look into reasons why a claim was slow? enough said |

Well the sail and boom where both seperate claims Tom, the sail i capsized onto the bow of an Albacore, and the boom exploded! lol well it wasn't quite so dramatic, i let the kicker off coming a shore in a nice f4-5 as i dumped the main there was a bange and the boom split up the middle it was well weird, noble were abosolutly fine with it even though i was fairly appologetic! To be honest its one of the reasons i sold the 300, i seemed to be making more claims then anything i have sailed before and i'm not into that! I just like sailing. |

i also have an irrational fear of powerboats when im in the water as one guy at school got his knee cut open by a prop (1 cm more and his kneecap would have been destroyed). the call to stay away until i was ready was more from fear than anything else as the vibrations of the engine i could feel through the water sent me into a panic.
