In Feb this year Crazy Diamond was damaged, in Ardfern Marina Scotland, when a pontoon cleat broke and the neighboring boat swung into her in a gale. The marina and their insurers are not willing to accept any responsibility for the damage. Are there any legal wizz kids out there who could advise me on whether I have grounds to sue them.

We have 3rd party only. Pontoon manufacturers say cleat was well within its expected life and must have been shock loaded in the gale.
