Re: Insurance

Thanks Ozzie and Geoff, I suspect that with the survey comes the need for the standing rigging to be less than 10 years old, and so it goes... I'll let you know what NRMA have to say for themselves.

Insurance

Strangely, I couldn't find a previous thread so I made a new one. As some of you may know, my boat is on a swing mooring. My current insurer, Topsail, told me I need a survey. This happened with my last insurer before Topsail. I can't afford a survey just for insurance. Can anyone recommend an insur...

Re: TOW VEHICLES

Re: TOW VEHICLES

Hi Peter,

I (actually my wife) have a 2.5l Mazda CX-5, towing capacity 1800kg (I think). The ramp at Brooklyn is about 30km up the M1 from here. I tow at about 90km/hr with no problem. Wouldn't want to go much smaller.

Would be interested to know what model Geoff's Hyundai is.

Ian.
