Anyone with Noble Marine?

I suspect it may have hit the bottom ?

If you can't tie your boat down to a decent anchorage you should take the mast down if you want to pay the same insurance rates as the rest of us who do tie the boats down properly. Otherwise the rest of us are subsidising you. The club is the members, so if you point the finger at the club for not providing ground anchors then you are just pointing the finger at yourself.

Our boat park has a concrete surface. Digging holes in the ground is not a practical option. I keep my boat on its combi trailer, which is fortunately stupidly heavy. So far it has never moved despite there having been several heavy storms. The problem comes for owners of smaller dinghies sitting on light launching trolleys. They tie their boats down to concrete filled buckets. While it is much better than doing nothing boats tiled down in this way still get blown over. 

Find four large tyres, fill with concrete and a length of chain to use as a tie down point add two strong ropes. Job done.

As for Noble Marine I too moved away from them a few years back. No issues with their service at all it was always excellent and settled with no issues. The reason was purely cost. They wanted an increasing amount to insure my Laser and i could no longer justify the extra expense (and with doing less sailing the 'never miss a weekend of sailing no longer applied).
