Boat Insurance alternatives to GJW

That's pretty much what they told me in the past, too.
Which brings us to JFM's point as I understand it. One, you have a contract where that this area of risk is made crystal clear;another you have a contract where you may be reliant on the insurers interpretation. What I am not clear about is since GJW must have their front door mat piled high with correspondence over this, if they mean what they claim why don't they clarify their wording? I mean, what is the downside? Maybe they will...

I would suggest that all queries about policies should be addressed directly to the chairman Mike Pope at Groves*John and Westrup Ltd.,
5th Floor, Silkhouse Court, Tithebarn Street, Liverpool, L2 2QW. They are very keen to be competitive and if he is aware of these concerns he is the type of bloke who will take action. I don't currently have a boat so the issue doesnt affect me. I have however in a past life been one of their approved repairers and I can honestly say that from the insureds point of view they are very fair and are more straightforward in their claims procedures than some other insurers mentioned on this thread

I did talk about it on here at the time, but I have now consigned it to the past, so if you'll forgive me I won't resurrect it.
As with most cases, it boiled down to the small print in the policy (which isn't replicated in the small print of my absolutely standard GJW policy) and to the fact that once they'd identified a get-out, they didn't want to know.
And breathe; and relax ............

Hi
I have been watching this post with interest as our own boat insurance is up for renewal. I have spoken to colmans marine brokers ( who I have been with for 8 years) about the concerns expressed about small print in the policies. I have found colmans to very helpful and received the reply below:-
" I now have the response from Navigators & General. To me it’s clear but when you have a moment it would be good to hear your thoughts.
"The Navigators and General policies are designed to provide clear and understandable peace of mind. In the event of damage caused to your vessel over an extended period there are two exclusions within 'Section A' i.e. the accidental/own damage section, which could apply depending on the cause.
We will not cover:
- Wear, tear, depreciation or gradual deterioration.
- Loss or damage resulting from electrolysis, osmosis or like conditions.
This means we would not meet the costs of replacing/repairing any part of the insured vessel which failed owing to the action of one of these. It does provide cover for the resulting damage/loss caused by the failure.
The acid test for any clause in any contract is that it must be fair and reasonable, for example;
Would it be fair and/or reasonable to expect all seacocks to be dismantled and checked every year? No, probably not.
Would it be fair and/or reasonable to repudiate a claim for sinking based purely on a failed seacock? No.
Whilst a regular maintenance program will almost always protect your vessel, there will always be those situations where the loss or damage was not reasonably foreseeable and in these incidences your Navigators and General policy would be there to support you and get you back on the water.
The overriding concern for all owners and skippers is to ensure that the vessel they choose to go to sea in should be seaworthy for their own safety and that of their passengers."
I am not an expert in these things but it does seem to cover the bases, any feed back would be welcome.
Many thanks
Nathan

Go figure!
Well, several big names insurers have done just that to posters on these very forums, and upon appeal to the Ombudsman they won on that point. That is first hand not urban myth - I have the files right here next to me showing this.
For lots of other reasons, it doesn't cover all the bases. Eg the word "purely" above.
I am amazed you guys go to such lengths to find a reason or seek justification for sticking with your current insurer, despite what happened to Seahope on here. In my book, buying insurance is just business, but you seem to be in love with your current insurers.

Just managed to get Ill (again) beyond the point of going to work as I found out yesterday while making sure it could all run in my absence for a day or two, so will be spending tomorrow on the phone sorting out stuff I have not had the time for, boaty & otherwise. Insurance is on the list.

Sent an e-mail to current insurer today & was not impressed with the response, which I will not publish apart from this bit " Sinking per se is not an insured peril" which made me laugh, it being a boat & all that, so will be going with HKJ in the next few days when I get time, no hurry as she is out of the water at the moment, & that is fully covered lol.
Thanks to JFM again for all your work on this.

I wouldn't count on HKJ paying out if boat sinks, I know someone who suffered a flooded engine bay while boat was winterised afloat and they don't want to help at all, they wouldn't even send a surveyor to asses why boat sunk, the boat was purchase a few months earlier, was surveyed and recommended repairs carried out. The premium has been paid up to date for last couple of years while this has been ongoing and boat is on hard standing. With this in mind I would be very careful with HKJ.

Maybe it was insured with another company?

They claim that the fault was due to something mentioned in the survey which was rectified at the time, they paid for salvage work to re float but could not establish a reason for the sinking, a surveyor would normally look but they just had a local boatyard owner look who would not commit to a reason why. When owner requested a surveyor look he was told case closed.
In my previous job I used to arrange a lot of work for HKJ and a surveyor would always look, I remember one case he said to me this looks like a put up and can't see why insurance should pay but they still did.

Having just looked at the last six pages and no doubt more to follow including other insurance entries it crossed my mind to look at Pantaenius policy.
Without looking in depth the Insurers are not fully shown which is a touch sneaky in my humble opinion .Ace European are listed as the lead underwriter with the policy overall written by a group of European Insurers has any one asked Pantaenius who precisely these companies are and for access to relevant financials?
For all we know a % of risk could be underwritten by an insurer that operates out of the salt mines.
I would not be happy with that.

Hi
I do not have any alegence to a particular insurance co, feel best to give existing insurer ample opportunity to give best cover, as I said no expert on these matters. I have passed your helpful advice on to see if they can improve thier cover.

With you there m8, in The Scheme Of Things I reckon mobo insurance is cheap
I had two claims through GJW and they dealt with them very promptly and professionally
Don't use them anymore because they don't do 'Commercial'
Think we are with Porthcawl now (gets me m8 to sort it!) but if GJW could fix us up I would go with them
