insurance

[richardlawrence]

I used to have insurance when I did alot of windsurfing. In that case you can easily be travelling at in excess of 25 mph on the edge of control, which is a great rush but a little bit scary The cost was only between £20 and £40 depending on the extent of cover. Most marine insurers offer packages. Viking insurane rings a bell but I may be wrong. Could possibly check out one of the kayaking magazines, there may be adverts.

 

It is probably worth checking your home insurance policy. It is quite possible that it covers you for third party cover when going about your daily life.

I added my Dorado to my contents insurance policy for an additional £14.50. However I didn't even consider 3rd party liability, just wanted to cover the possibility of it being damaged or nicked or whatever.

Lots of new members since last April > I am one of them!

 

The search function is not always useful as lots of pictures are no longer uploaded!

 

If we had a page for newbies with all the common questions on it would solve the problem of the older members having to answer the same questions
