Tony I don’t know what drugs your on, but I think your having some sort of funny reaction . Dig out what notes you want Tony. The fact is you have never been inside my boat and have only been on the back deck for maybe 40mins.Or are you claiming otherwise? Maybe you should pay more attention to the condition of Selby Micheal? A boat you are responsible for. As I've said before, . . you've neither the intellect nor the memory to be a wholly successful con artist and liar, . . and fooling some of the regular contributors on here, the idiots whose thought processes and powers of reasoning are down at or around your own level, . . can't really be regarded as much of an achievement. If, as it appears, you're determined and stupid enough, to heap yet more difficulties on yourself than you already have by continuing this exercise in self-inflicted grief, then I'm quite happy to provide you with every possible assistance in achieving that end. I'll have the relevant notes and records to hand sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, I'll also have a look back through the e-mail in and out boxes for the period around the time when you holed A41 by running her up onto some old 1 x ton concrete craneboat blocks that had been placed underwater against some of the unstable Larssen piling along the South side of the Aire & Calder near Heck. You were begging for my assistance in formulating an ill-advised, and even more ill-considered, claim against C&RT for the damage you and your general incompetence caused to A41's already weakened hull framing and plating whilst engaged in a remunerative towing job that wasn't covered under your, non-commercial, pleasure use only, 3rd party insurance cover. Still want to go on with this, do you ?

Our insurers have demanded a hull survey every 10 years. I guess most other boaters are in the same position. I mean, why should they insure a boat that could be about to sink? Why take a risk? That's an unusually generous and long period between hull condition surveys for any underwriters to stipulate, . . every 3 - 4 years is more usual for anything more than 15 - 20 years old. They obviously regard you as a very good risk, . . and one of the reasons for that will be the proportionally large amount of time the boat's in use compared with the periods of time most pleasure craft are not used and unattended. Small leaks can quickly take an unattended boat down to the point where they start taking on a lot of water very quickly through low level hull openings such as vents and self-draining cockpits/well decks where the effective freeboard is only the height of cabin door thresholds above the normal Load Water Line, . . which on most canalboats is only a few inches.

To be fair Ross, insurance is a risk based business. They will take most risks but someone will be paying for the privilege.

I've got comprehensive insurance without a survey and my boat is 35 years old. I'm just waiting for the renewal now but I don't see why they would want a survey if they didn't last year.

To be fair Ross, insurance is a risk based business. They will take most risks but someone will be paying for the privilege. I think the idea is for insurance companies to take less of the risks and to make profits. This is why they ask for hull survey in the case of boats. The really good insurance companies offer you ice creams if your hull survey comes out OK. They don't all ask and some wait till the boat is 30 years old. Its all about the risk they take that the boat will or won't sink. Some will ask the noater to reduce that risk but there is always a risk of sinking to any boat regardless of survey. It's a risk based business.

You certainly can get car insurance without an MOT. Some insurers will have certain clauses and some won't.
Some want a survey every 5, some want a survey every 10 years, some don't ask at all.
They take a risk that it won't sink after 9 years, of course there is a risk that any boat will sink at any time for many reasons.
Risk, some want it mitigated some will outweigh that risk by charging a lot of money.

You're only a few minutes away, . . even with a boat that gets along about as well as a ruptured duck, . . thanks to its idiot owner fitting a gearbox with the wrong reduction ratio for the engine and propeller.

Your cover isn't as 'comprehensive' as you think ! There'll be a 'get out' clause in the policy documents that puts the responsibility for ensuring that the hull has been, and is, maintained in a "sound and watertight condition" wholly on the policyholder. In the event of a sinking caused by, or contributed to, by any hull defect your insurers won't pay out, . . and you won't have a Survey Report to use as a bargaining tool.

That's usually what they do yes.
Insurance is the porn of the devil.
