Some of the wags and I don't mean wives and girlfriends, are going to love this..

Just got my Saga Boat Insurance quote, 75 quid, I'm sure it cost me £120 from the man that got an MBE for a lifetime selling insurance to the RYA..

Which boat? Sounds pricey for the EPS?

EPS with racing cover, seemed cheap to me.

I shall find the Noble thing I had to bloody insure it to race against you muppets at the FOM, didn't know what to expect, a lake full of internet keyboard warriors on water, maybe that's why the premium was so high.. Wink

£85 for the Solo, through Towergate Mardon... £8k worth of cover though.

my Musto is just  north of 250 quid....my track record's not good though over the last couple of years.   Interestingly its less than my 600 insurance was with same company and the Musto is worth more than double!

I reckon that's good value for how fast I could potentially hit stuff

Solo? Not exactly high risk though is it? Old fashioned so no one will ever nick it, slow, so no likelihood of major impact damage, and not exactly whiplash territory.. LOL

Whereas the EPS, sport boating equivalent of the Golf Gti hot hatch genre, what can I say, I'm surprised anyone would insure it..

Am I right in thinking there was a spate of broken 600 masts = £££?
If your insurance is fully comp, then that could explain the higher premium to value of the 600.

Graeme, the trouble with the Solo is that it is so slow moving that other fast moving boats tend to assume it will get out of their way quicker.  At least two innocent Solos at our club T-boned by lasers as they hardened up round the leeward mark in recent months (or was that years?...I forget.)

Old angel masts had as habit of breaking but that was years ago and yes fully comp always for me.

For what they are, high performance boats, no the EPS is not high performance IMO, I reckon thats reasonable.
