    pantaenius

    Oh dear, sorry to hear this. Having had a boat wrecked in Benalmadena last year I can fully sympathise. It does confirm what I have concluded about Pantaenius, they are good as gold with a small claim but quite the reverse with a big claim. Our boat was sufficiently damaged to warrant having...

    Changed Insurance

    Have gone with Navigators and General too. Interestingly they said they would have brought the boat back to the UK for repairs. The risks of a bodged repair abroad are too great. They recently brought a 40 footer back for repairs. Chris. <hr width=100% size=1><A target="_blank"...

    Rising Insurance costs

    No shame, they have done you a favour! They have dumped me ... I have switched to Nav Gen who seem to be making the right noises. I sincerely hope I never find out how good they are. Chris. <hr width=100% size=1><A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rixon.net/z> St Malo to the Med on the web</A>

    Loss adjusters

    Having been thrust into the hands of a loss adjuster by my insurance company I would like to know if anyone has experience of these beasts? A friend has told me that they are paid on a % of what they save the underwriter? (sorry to start yet another insurance thread but this is a serious...

    Censored thread - an interesting dilemma

    Magazine coverage? Hopefully it will have dawned on the magazine editors that insurance is a hot topic and worthy of space in print. How to de-stink ones deck shoes is about as daring as Yachting Monthly gets at the moment! <hr width=100% size=1><A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rixon.net/z>...

    Censored thread - an interesting dilemma

    Offsite links Its helpful to see your position but I don't think this explains why you won't let me mention my website here. I don't think there can be any legal problems with a link to another site from this forum. Is it ok for me to link to my site? <hr width=100% size=1>

    Right to reply?

    Having had two of the threads I started pulled, I am starting a new one in case I cause the “Censored thread - an interesting dilemma” to be pulled also. I took out my insurance on the basis of very positive comments I read on the YBW forums. I feel strongly that having not received the service...
