Hi Everyone,
I'm planning on living aboard, my landlord as decided to sell my flat so I've had to move up the plans to this summer instead of next.
As a consequence I'm having to triage the to do list. Insurance-wise how much do your RYA certs have to do with cost of your quote?
Being able to sail on the open sea is not a priority currently, maybe at some point in the future I'll go out but right now the focus is making it habitable (god help me). I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by either A - doing training I don't need to & forgetting all of it by the time I use it or B - making myself uninsurable as a liveaboard because I'm not certified.
I actually work in insurance but marine insurance is a whole other thing to the areas I've worked in so I'm not sure what the factors are. There's enough things that can make a liveaboard a money pit, unlike mechanics/electricians/plumbers/the weather the insurance is something I can control.
Any advice from your good selves would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Clare!
