How much are they charging you? Noble have a great reputation for not haggling over claims, but are definitely not the cheapest you can get.

It strikes me as odd that in a class that does most of it's own repairs and must therefore have less claims, we seem to pay a lot for insurance?

how come?... just did an on-line quote with Noble Marine and it was £42 3rd party? And £291 fully comp on a £7000 grand boat.

The same as a 12ft skiff.

All tallies, noble was £300 give or take the price of a pint. I think i'll take a look at Bishop Skinner and go for a few pints !

Pretty hefty claim with noble this year and fully comp is around £350 for renual on £3500 value. I think last year it was around £270 fully comp.

Don't think it is new for old. But with Nobles 300 bucks a couple of years and you are almost at what most things are going to cost. I think I may use Bishop Skinner as well. Got some sails that fit today too.
