Re: Insurance in Europe

I'm happy with Novamar. Their prices are competitive. I've used them for three boats, including the one in the S. Pacific. I've had no claims though, ever. Theo. s/v Paloma Amel 50 #18

Re: I'm going to the Annapolis Boat Show - anyone want SM bow thruster lip seals (free)?
