No.
As I said, I did not make a claim for damaged forestay.

I have replaced 2 forestays ... 2 different boats ...
Had forestays made up to lemngth ... talurits / swages as approp. .... Fitted myself ... for a great deal less than your excess.
I assume from your post that the stay is the only real damaged item - that furler is OK ?

Sorry Dan, my comments were in response to Guapa, not you. I certainly would try a DIY fix and on my rig probably without dropping the mast using the spinny halliard. However, Guapa's a bit bigger so care will be needed lowering the roller gear.
Guapa - silence from me on cost because I can't find my invoice for the new rigging for the cap shrouds but looking at this
http://www.jimmygreen.co.uk/custom_chand...ing_rigging.htm,
plus some new Staylocks as a pricing example, I guess you are going to spend £200 on parts. Main problem is your distance from the boat and a source of new stuff - can't remember if there is a place at Levington. Needs some careful measuring.

Hi Jim,
Should be OK - all should be sorted by Friday.
I gave Nigel a call at RigMagic (SYH-Levington).
Can do the job for 450+VAT all-in.
I'm driving up tonight with Evita to park the boat on a pontoon.
Dent in the cruising kitty, but can "live" with 450+VAT.

Any word from GJW yet on the viability of a claim? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Seems a fair price for something that is as thick as your wrist and half a cable long.
Have a great holiday!

Not claiming - with the excess I'm not putting up a fight for 200.
Had earlier been told it might well be in the 2K region (not RigMagic - elsewhere on the Orwell).
In which case I would have put in a claim.

As a GJW policy holder too I agree with you and Tome. No wonder premiums go up

Quite touching, your concern.
I haven't claimed for years - guess what?
Premiums went up too!
So, if it does turn out to be more expensive than the 450+VAT, I will make a point of claiming.

Quite - was pleasantly surprised.
Heard good things about them too - so if they do come through will be singing their praises loudly on here.
