Re: Save the Old Race Boats
Here is a quick quiz for our British friends.
This is the engine room of a former Cowes winner.
What is the name of the boat?
What year did it win Cowes?
What kind of engines?

Re: Save the Old Race Boats
Wild Safaris posted with a question on how to get the best insurance for these older restored boats.
At this time I don't know of any specific company that is writing policies for these types of boats. I guess the best place would simply be the normal companies that write general boat insurance.
