Nonle are the top bannana

2claims in 2weeks? i bet they loved you. what did you claim for besides the sail and boom? and how much did your premium increase by? i am about to make another claim for a new boom and either a new sail or repair of 3panels of my rs300 sail (courtesy of the rescue boat driving over it)

i also claimed for a new mast in september and they were great about it. if its a genuine claim then noble are the best. i really cant reccomend them enough. they also allow you one claim without the premium increasing next year.

The one time I was considering making a claim, The responses I got were lovely and quick. The repair was only £70 in the end, so decided it wasnt worth the increased prices for the next few years.

Ratface did seem to have quite a lot of trouble with them though. Something about the Gnav track on the 300 mast being a known weak point if I remember right?

Usually pretty simple and straight forward. 

Put in the claim and get the boat repaired - never had a problem to be honest

With noble it is about as straight forward as it gets. You may pay slightly
more with them for some boats but it's worth it. If I wanted cheaper I'd
probably go with newton crumb but as for no hassle and pure ease and
convenience I think noble have got it hands down.
