Insurance.

Noble for me every time.  I managed a fair bit of damage last year, but everything was settled very quickly and smoothly.  I have a multi boat policy for my flotilla, but it's cheap because they know I won't take the mick when it comes to claiming, plus I fix the minor problems myself.

The other thing I have found is it's worth talking to your insurers about some boats so they don't lump them all into the same easily broken category, eg all my moths.

That's very good xpletive, your therapy is coming on really well, that was quite funny, now if you could tell the nice policeman where you buried the rest of the bodies, and they can finish your treatment.

I can only speak as I find and they've always been brilliant...

I've been with Craft Insure for many years. Absolutely brill. A bit more expensive but service is superb.
A couple of the guys at Starcross have their B14 insured with Saga(combined age of around 234 I think!) . About half the price that I pay. They haven't tested it with a claim yet though. And some of their policies don't cover the sails when hoisted apparently. (I got that from one of the K1 guys)

I cannot fault Noble. When my Byte was burnt to dust by vandals on a Saturday night I posted about it on here on the Sunday where I mentioned that the whole boat had gone except the sail. I was going to phone Noble on the Monday morning......but they beat me to it and phoned me because they must have seen the forum. They paid the full insured value just knocking £50.00 for the sail. That is very good service and I would recommend them even if others may be cheaper.
