Classic insurance

[tonijon]

Hi folks looking at buying a finesse 21 for very little off a friend (he was a wooden boat virgin and his wife has been kicking up over him spending most weekends down at the club) and was wondering who would be the best option to insure her with! I have a friend of a friend who is a surveyor and shipwright and is willing to do an insurance survey.

At the peril of answering a question with another question, you should consider whether you need comprehensive insurance to protect your investment or only cover for third party liability. If the answer if the former, I would recommend Simon Winter (Simon Winter Marine: Classic Yacht & Pleasure Craft Insurance - Home ) who is very knowledgeable about classics of all sizes.

If its the boat I am thinking of (BSC) she needs lots of work so would think third party would be enough for the moment.

Careful, I'm not sure if third party covers clearance of wreckage of your vessel.

That's why I would be going for fully comp which members have to have if sailing out of the sailing club.
