Subject: [Amel] Lemma Insurance Bankruptcy


I have had my Amel SM insured with Lemma Insurance (Lemma Europe Insurance
Company) through Bill Coats at Offshore Risk Management of Florida. On 17
Oct 2012 I received an eMail from Offshore Risk Management indicating that
Lemma Europe is in liquidation and that, while my policy is in force, there
is a strong possibility that there be insufficient funds to pay future
claims.

OH GREAT!!!

I have roughly 1/4th of my annual $US 6,500 premium tied up in this now
bankrupt company.

I would welcome any thoughts from the readership on different brokers or
insurance companies. I feel like I need to secure alternative insurance
soon, just in case. I think I will go with a USA company since things look
so bleak for Europe right now (not that they are all that great for the
USA).

My boat is on the hard in a cradle in Jolly Harbor Antigua. We have kept
the boat in the hurricane box for each of the last 6 years. The one time we
brought the boat out of the box was to Florida where we had 3 hurricanes
come close, one within 60 miles of our boat, while there. We finally went
back to the Caribbean where we have felt safer from hurricanes.

Thanks for your input.
