I was with Curtis, after your recco a couple of years ago. This year under HKJ they offered the identical policy as Curtis last year, with a very small increase in premium. As usual I read through the policy and noticed that I wasn't covered for operating the boat single-handed ( I wasn't last...
We have 2 on the boat, and they tend to be occasionally used by the children of guests who mistake them for the toilet. Otherise, they normally have damp swimming attire in them.
I've just received an email from Curtis saying that Howden t/a Haven Knox-Johnston had acquired them. I hope this doesn't go the way of the Y Yacht acquisition by Top Sail that pushed up lots of our premiums!
Does that cover all the travel & accommodation? Even so, it feels expensive - gut feeling is £1500 max for the survey itself, I think I paid 1200 euros for my similar size / age boat a few years ago to a SoF surveyor.
Each year our tender with a 25hp 2 stroke runs rough with year old fuel from the tank plus it stalls a lot on tick over. Improves considerably when I put new petrol in. QED
