    Dave:

    >>....it is an incontrovertible fact.

    Really!?! So my 18 years in the business count for nothing against your one
    case. Interesting.... And I thought that I was so good.... ;-)

    Seriously, I don't which company you're referring to, but isn't there at
    least some possibility that the wooden boat (or the owner) you're referring
    to is not sufficiently seaworthy to venture outside the Gate? Or do you
    believe that your company would restrict ANY wooden hulled boat to the bay
    only? If the latter is the case, you really need to see about changing
    carriers.

    I'm sorry I used as strong a word as "ridiculous", but that's the way it hit
    me when I read your original note.
    I can tell you "factually" that we insure boats for 6 major carriers for
    whom we have rates and not one of them, NOT A SINGLE ONE, has anything in
    their rate guide that treats wood, plastic or metal boats in any way
    differently. Not one of them has different rates for different materials.
    Not one of them applies a surcharge or debit for any material. Those, my
    friend, are the "facts" in the industry, not just one company.

    Fair winds,
