<description><![CDATA[Luckily we have never had to make a claim.  With insurance these days, it is "good luck" just to find one that will provide insurance at a reasonable price with things like survey requirements and cruising restrictions that are workable. I will also say that Rachel was wonderful to work with.  Prompt and professional.  - Bill W]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Bob & BWeigel, <br/>Rachel's last name is now Meister, although I am sure all inquiries will get to her. <br/>BW, when you refer to "good luck" were you referring to a claim you considered well handled?<br/>Thanks, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello Bob - we had good luck with the Jackline policy from the Gowrie Group.  The last time we were insured with them was 2022 so things may have changed.  At that time we had extensive cruising coverage for our 1981 Whitby 42 with no crew restrictions.  My wife and I were covered for our transatlantic with just the two of us.  Our broker/contact info is here: <br/> <br/><b>Rachel Sloan | Jackline Account Manager</b>Gowrie Group | A division of Risk Strategies<br/><a href="mailto:rachel.imis@gowrie.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color:rgb(23, 54, 93)">rachel.imis@gowrie.com</span></a><br/>p: 410.364.7707  |  f: 410.827.3758<br/>522 Chesapeake Ave, Annapolis, MD 21403<br/><a href="https://www.gowrie.com/Marine-Insurance/JacklineProgram.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span style="color:rgb(23, 54, 93)">www.gowrie.com/jackline</span></a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Bob,<br/>  I would contact Gary Golden at Manifest Marine, 540-785-0398. He is the son of the man who started IMIS back in the day, Al Golden, who specialized in insurance for cruisers, especially with offshore cruisers and was the insurer of choice (30 years ago) for members of SSCA. IMIS sold us insurance for my wife and my cruising on our own when everyone else insisted that, for passage making, we needed to have a third crew and not do the passage just the two of us.<br/>  Let us know what you find out.<br/>  Good luck, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are refitting OPUS a 1980 Cabo Rico 38 sailboat.  New rigging, motor, sails, electronics, etc. <br/>Opus is USCG documented and insured for US and coastal sailing. <br/>We tried Topsail and was turned down.  We have tried several brokers but no luck.  <br/>Can anyone recommend an insurance carrier?   We are planning an Atlantic crossing to UK. July 2025, sailing the area and making it into the Mediterranean in the fall.]]></description>
