Noble Marine. I've never been insured with anyone else and took out
insurance with them after Carl recommended them. I'm in the middle of
my second insurance claim through them and I think their customer
service is top notch. This time round, the claim was approved within
an hour of me submitting it through their website. the quote was
approved on the day they received it. I haven't sent them the bill
yet, but I hope that's in a similar timescale.

Last time, the third party responsible for a hole in my boat (and
arse) wouldn't hand over their insurance details (more through
incompetence than anything else I think). I had several phone calls
with Noble about this and they were very helpful.

It would take a serious amount of effort to convince me to insure my
single with anyone else now.

Rob.

Also have a quick look at the Story called "How 2 Save Money" on the Slug
http://www.twrc.rowing.org.uk/slug/ as it seems Noble have tried to push
through price increases but back-down if you resist...

I insure with Noble and have been very happy though have not yet needed to
make a claim.

Seconded. I've been insured with them since I bought my first single. Thus
far only the one claim, but they handled it all very efficiently and with
no complaints from my perspective. I would have no qualms about
recommending them.

(I did it before I saw the link on the 'slug' - it cost me about 90 quid for
a 3 grand boat and blades - does that sound about right?)

Yep. Mine is about 105 for a little over 4k's worth of equipment.
