Topic: Insurance claims - straightforward? Posted: 22 Jun 08 at 12:41pm |
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. |

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. |

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 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. |
