Ahoy Team OCC,

For British, American and Other registered boats, I understand sometimes insurance can be more challenging for non-production or classic boats. As I just came across some answers to Lisa Ballard’s insurance questions I share them below, as they’ve also proved useful for my own UK registered Hanse German HIN# production boat!

Plus who knows it might be of use to others…

Hi Lisa Ballard

Just in case you’re still looking…

A) a British friend of mine has just had their wooden boat insured by a USA 🇺🇸 company called “State Farm insurance”…

B) another with a classic boat suggested a USA 🇺🇸 company called “Haggerty US”… but not Haggerty UK.

C) For American and British sailors and registered boats it was also suggested the best way to insure custom, older models or classic boats is to contact both Marine underwriters in the USA and the UK. Apparently there are eight boat underwriters in the USA and two in the UK who mix and match their boat insurance criteria on an case by case basis.

Wishing you all the best with your own journey cover…

Fair winds,


Sonia
