[C320-list] BoatUS Insurance

[Don Johnson]

Well, there ARE too many people here, but I'd rather have you (all) able to sail pretty much whenever you want! It is an upside for being in California. I was at the marina yesterday, but couldn't get to the boat because of the Long Beach Grand Prix prep (for got to check). So, I went down the road a mile or 2 and watched the first day of the Congressional Cup (using all Catalina 37s) race in LB harbor. It was awesome, but I spent too much time there w/o hat or sunscreen (on the boat), & got a pretty good sunburn! (sorry, but it IS California!).

Don,

Price you pay for living in Paradise I suppose... or is that a trick you're using to keep all the rest of us from moving down there?  😉

Paying about $450 through Markel myself… 2012 rates… haven't seen the 2013 premium yet.  However, being in northern Minnesota I'm surprised they charge that much for the 2-3 weeks of summer we're expected to have this year!!  There is still 1-2 feet of ice on the lake with the late spring we've been having and 10-12" of snow expected tomorrow.  UGH!!!

I'm wondering if adding an icebreaker attachment to the front of my boat when we launch in about 3 weeks would void my insurance conditions.  It's going to either be that or stay confined to the Marina for a week or two more!!

>> Skippers,  here is my deal up to November 2013.    Boat US premium package. 80K coverage on our 2003.  $428.00.  There are so many factors in the rate calculations, maybe our short season here in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin enters into it.  I am smiling.  The previous owner was actually  a few cents under $400.
