Just reviving an old thread. I've recently been doing the rounds of insurance brokers, trying to obtain the most competitive quote for my BC20. For some reason, Craftinsure have offered me a significantly better deal than the others.
I was reading the small print, however, since this is always important. This states that they will not pay any claim arising from my boat '...being used single handedly for a period exceeding 24 hours.'
I asked them for clarification since the equivalent wording did not appear on any of the others' policies and, moreover, nearly all of my sailing is single handed - I routinely cruise for up to a week at a time.
They replied to say that I have misinterpreted this rule. It's all to do with ColRegs whereby they don't accept one person can maintain an adequate lookout during 'continuous navigation' over a period of 24 hours or more. Evidently, 'being used' does not include being at anchor which is a relief - although I would say being at anchor for an evening/overnight is just as much 'using a boat' - and, point of fact, just as much fun - as sailing during the day...
So, it looks like Craftinsure will cover Daisy III for the next 12 months.
