We also know that small boats are more likely to be affected by some of the following circumstances;

• Involved in minor racing accidents.
• More likely to be sailed by inexperienced helmsmen/ women.
• More likely to be stolen (unfortunately!) or fall foul of extreme weather.
• Are often owned by private UK individuals who do not want to get involved in minor legal disputes/ tangles (and especially not with commercial boat companies).

Additional Facts

The Royal Yachting Association is just one group through which you can build your boating experience. Their recognised courses and qualifications are well respected.

Boat fitted with auto-bilges where applicable, notably on swing moorings, will attract lower premiums.

Clubs offering a number of boat to be insured at once will attract further discount.

Inevitably a clean no claims history will reduce your premium (usually by between 4 and 6% per year).

Sailing on a small boat unfortunately runs the same risks as that of larger boats, accidents do sometimes happen.

Always check the limits to your policy in small print, e.g. the cruising range you’re allowed such as tidal access, channel crossings, Mediterranean no east of 35 degrees.
