hi,
i am after some advice , last saturday early morning in a storm my swinging mooring broke and my yatcht ended up on her side on the rocks , she was refloated and re moored but when i managed to get back on her she was taking on water and had to be driven to a jetty . i have the insurance involved because of the hole on the keel plus water damage in the engine bay,but the insurance proceedure seems very complicated. she will need to be taken somewhere to access the damage, also the yard are going to patch up the hole and take her there,this is going to take time and money, the insurance say they will have to send a surveyer , what will he do? the yard should provide an estimate. i am not sure what i should be doing as the insurance say i am responsible for her and should do all what is neccesary.this as not happened to me before and the process is all too different to a motor claim. any advice on how to go on from here dealing with their surveyer etc would be of great help
