Hi All,

Topsail Insurance (which gives a discount to OCC members) just informed us that one of their underwriters, Royal Sun & Alliance, was exiting the Canadian yacht insurance business. They couldn 't find another underwriter for us (we 're a Canadian yacht which apparently complicates things).

We 're seeking bluewater insurance for our boat (currently in Madagascar, and heading to South Africa, and a S. Atlantic passage next year).

Any suggestions welcome, especially from Canadians with recent claims experience!

This topic has been moderated to make clear that Topsail 's underwriter is exiting the Canadian market only and not yacht insurance in general. Topsail continue to provide blue water insurance to our members at a 20% discount.
