Another insurance question.

[DJE]

I managed to break the glass oven door on our new cooker yesterday while racing single handed. What do you think of my chances of making a successful insurance claim? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would guess that you could claim it. But... (a) the hastle, (b) your excess, (c) increased premiums, (d) loss of no-claims bonus, all add up to the question of is it really worth it. You may be surprised at how cheap a replacement part will cost you.

I broke an electric post (side swiped it with my transom) in a marina, and was surprised that the bill was only £50 from the marina. At that expense, no need to claim on the insurance.

They probably have a clause about singlehanded cooking so its a no goer. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well until you posted this noone would have known you were singlehanded, or racing!

Presumably you fell off a wave and the FB pie took off and hit the inside of the door? Sounds like a valid claim to me, especially if you were traumatised by the damage to the pie.

You're not suggesting he claims for whiplash, sorry pielash, too are you?
