In the course of jumping through hoops imposed by our insurance carrier for
our 1975 C&C 30 MK1, I had an email from a senior VP with Gallagher
Skipper's Plan that says, in part: "In the today's market it is extremely
difficult to find insurers willing to write sailboats over 40 years old.
These boats have a high incidence of fires, rigging failures, pulled
chainplates, and rudder failures and are considered high risk. Five
insurance companies have stopped offering quotes for sailboats over 30 and
the few that will offer it are very picky." This, of course, is highly
concerning. Any recommendation for a carrier that is more favourably
inclined to cover an older boat would be most appreciated.
