Lapworth 36' Sailboat $6500

This might interest someone; not my boat - just happened to see the ad. Saltspring refers to Saltspring Island, in the vicinity of Vancouver, British Columbia. http://victoria.en.craigslist.ca/boa/1661281623.html Nick

Nick How do you insure wooden boats this old in Canada. I had a party who was interested in this vessel and would have bought it but insurance was virtually impossible via Canadian underwriters. Marina's in the area all want liability insurance now as a minimum hence the deal fell through. Any info along those lines wood be appreciated. What I did is pass the party on to BoatUS who underwrites my vessel for peanuts (liability only @ 145 per annum all coastal and inland water for NA) but never heard back from her so Im assuming it did not go through. Best regards and thanks /ch

Heritage Marine insures only CLASSIC Boats. Raced or not raced, and have AGREED Value policies that will not leave you stranded like Boat US policies. Google them. You will pay $50 more a year but its worth it.

No go. Canadian postal address. Only if the boat was home ported in the States would a policy be considered and cant go out the St. Lawrence, must go the inland route. Same story all the time. Canadian underwriters are silly stupid expensive and limit your policy to the Tapenzee Bridge. Same old story. If the 29 were to insured for liability only (and few do that) cost would be around 500 bucks per annum. The 36 woody is a no go based on condition on all the resources we checked hence the question. Now here is the silly part. US underwriters insure boats in the region however they are not set up to correspond with Canadian addresses...Go figure, silly computer systems. /ch
