Have always insured Eclipse, my DE38, through BOAT/US with no problems - they have switched carriers to Geico and, despite no claims and the vessel being 1 year older, Geico wishes to charge more than last year ... no thanks.

I am an impecunious sailor who has neither the time nor money for a haulout and survey so ... suggestions anyone?

Thanks

No suggestions for you re insurance, but kudos for using the word impecunious!

BoatUS would not even quote me for insurance. Said they don't insure boats that old. Could be you were grandfathered in if you've been with them a long time. Or maybe I was just talking to a bad rep.

Ended up going with Hagerty, classic boat insurance. Never had a claim but they seem OK. They require a survey every five years. Don't have any cruising limits within North America, as far as I recall. Maybe something like 100 nm off shore or something but that didn't affect my plans when I asked.

I pay ~$1000/yr. for $40,000 agreed value plus $2500 dinghy coverage.
