+1. Changed to Progressive from BoatUS this year because BoatUS prices kept going up and their coverages kept going down.
On the survey question, I remember doing a “self survey” for BoatUS, and also sending them the professional pre-purchase survey I had done on my boat. For Progressive, I also sent the pre-purchase survey. I haven’t had the boat for five years yet, so I don’t know if I’ll get pestered. My yacht club requires proof of insurance for racing, but I don’t think my marina does for slippage. Incidentally, last Wednesday night I had the wildest race on Grenadine since buying her. Wind jumped from 10mph to 35mph in the snap of a finger, a few minutes after the start. Outflow from a big storm cell to the southeast, I think. I had my drifter (150% lightweight genoa) and full main up for the 10mph conditions. We could see the puff on the water but couldn’t tell how strong it was until we got in it - we were one of the first boats to get in it. Rounded up hard four times, buried the side deck to the cabintop window, and tore the clew cringle out of the drifter before I could even think to change headsails. Managed to maintain position in the race under main alone while we switched to the 130. Then had an accidental gybe and the boom knocked a crewman into the cabin (lesson: don’t sail wing and wing in that strong of wind). Still finished second despite the chaos. Sail is already fixed, crewman has recovered. No lasting damage, some lessons learned, and the 30-1 proved her stiffness again.
