Hi,
we have been with Admiral since we left the U.K. in 2008 and they have been very good. Even with a very expensive rock in Maine that hit the keel. The change in Bluewater sailing insurance is due to the Underwriter’s, having had larger claims. Bluewater sailors tend to claim for loss of mast, grounding or total loss. So when they compare that against marina based yachts we are expensive. So it’s not going to get better, with larger yachts undertaking World Crusing, insurance companies are going to be harder to find and more expensive.
Michael, Joint Bluewater Secretary
