Fogg 427 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Mmm, that’s interesting (and unusual). Was that for a standard local NZ cruising policy or for offshore & liveaboard cover? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,313 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Nope, local - out to 200 Nm IIRC. Nautical Insurance in CHCH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,776 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm on the same deal as IT. Interestingly i can sail 200 miles out and come back but if i clear customs I m not covered. But i chose them as you don't pay for when you are away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dtwo 157 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I have to say Bailey's are on to it with communication. I got this back today and they quote the insurers: “Thanks for referring this through, Our position is that the clients cover continues but every claim will be assessed (when it can be assessed) in its own circumstances and with New Zealand Governments activity restrictions in mind. The client is covered for usual risks/perils if they were caught out there before the lock down or the vessel is their normal everyday accommodation, i.e. their bubble. We appreciate that the client has been caught in an unfortunate situation, however they will need to do their very best to mitigate any potential loss, i.e. remaining in one location, if safe and secure.” Pretty reasonable response to my situation, seems like a pragmatic approach rather than a dogma. I will also be having a look at the CHCH option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
