Fair call. In reality, my bare feet are generally reserved for deliveries and cruising when the conditions are good, so I didn't really answer the OP. It's usually boots or Five Fingers for me racing.

If it's warm I prefer bare feet and if not I want to at least attempt to keep warm dry feet so it's sea boots for me at that point. Not sure that I subscribe to the bare feet = best grip theory. I think a good sole on non-skid gives better grip than bare skin. If I want something in between I wear Vibram Five Fingers. I use an older version of these, but only because that's what I already had. https://us.vibram.com/shop/fivefingers/men/outdoor/trek-pro/MTP.html?dwvar_MTP_color=Black%20%2F%20Grey%20%2F%20Red#start=1 There are watersport specific ones as well https://us.vibram.com/

Thanks guys for your input. I have gone with Aon/Vero this time around. I wanted to race on Saturday so had to get something in place asap and AMI's apparently low price just made me a little uncomfortable. Maybe I was just being paranoid but will reassess when it's time for renewal. Thanks hb, good to know I should look at the actual liability requirements at regattas and that other companies have a similar pricing to AMI. I wonder how much difference it would make if the sunburst was your only boat. Freedom, good to hear that you had no problems claiming.

Thanks MY. Good to know.

That sounds on a par with most of the others. AMI just seems crazy cheap at around $100. I thought it may have been a mistake on their part initially but the previous owner confirmed he had similar with AMI.

As far as I can tell this isn't an option. My current house and contents insurer (Lumley via Westpac) won't cover an almost 30 year old PT at all. And everyone that does has separate policies for beach launched or trailer boats.

Having recently purchased a Paper Tiger I am looking at insurance options (including racing). I have had quotes from AMI, AON and Club Marine. There seems to be a crazy difference in premiums between AMI and the other two. AMI is significantly less than half the premiums of the others. AMI seem to be a fairly common option with others that I have talked to. Low premiums are definitely a selling point, but not if there are problems down the track. What experience has everyone here had? A couple of points that I've noted; AMI only cover $300,000 for third party. Others ca
