Additional ZOOM Meetings #ZOOM
|
All,
The most common suggestion that I have received regarding the ZOOM meetings is to have expert guest speakers on subjects that are of interest to most of the members. I have contacted people I know, respect, and consider experts. I am awaiting replies from experts on: Sails
Refrigeration
Standing Rigging
Dessalator Lithium Solutions
Another suggestion I had was to find an "...Insurance Adjuster, whose role it is to be the interpreter of the policy, protecting only the insurance company in order to minimize liability and expenses. This expert is the one we need to come and talk to us about insurance and how to get the best policy for the most reasonable price." I am aware of public marine insurance adjusters in Florida but have no direct knowledge of any of these. I also asked Antoine RIOTON from Amel to do a presentation on the Amel 50/60 Comments welcome. I will keep you informed. --

That would be awesome Bill. I couldnt attend the last meeting as I had a conflict with my work schedule but looking forward to more of these calls.

Bill,
I think that insurance is a very big issue. I have now approached 6 to 7 agents/companies mentioned on our AYOG Forum and get very conflicting reasons of not willing to write insurance, like:
In talking to agents recommended via our AYOG forum I realize few of them remember/recognize the AMEL specific 6 or 7 watertight compartments so they tell me I need additional pumps on board; our overbuild rigging etc. etc.; and tell me I need to renew my rigging (just surveyed in December 2019 in COOMERA) because it is now 10 years old.
In all honesty: agency on #3 and #4 is now looking at this again after I wrote back I was a USA resident and had a USA address she replied she was going to look into this.
I know I am not the only AMEL owner having this problem – another member mentioned on the forum maybe looking at organizing our own group insurance (maybe via LLOYDS ?? they are used to write unusual policies)

I would certainly appreciate Zoom sessions with subject matter experts who can keep us up to date on topics which are relevant to our vessels.
Maybe we can add Instrumentation Systems (B&G, Furuno, Raymarine etc) to the list. Also of interest would be Communications Systems (Satellite, SSB, etc). You have created a (nice) monster Bill 👍 Dean SY Stella A54-154

I agree, this is a big issue....
I have had issues with insurance companies that say they CAN'T insure Elyse because she is British registered, moored in New Zealand and I live in Australia. What has all that got to do with the risk of insuring a boat ? Right now I only have her insured for NZ waters as my plans to sail in the South Pacific this season are on hold...indefinitley.
