NEVER UNDERTAKE TECHNICAL MODIFICATIONS ON HIS YACHT WITHOUT WARNING THE INSURANCE COMPANY
Always warn the insurer when you go to the shipyard
On a Sailing Ship : Check the rigging every 2 -3 years by a professional. Whatever the insuruance company, they may refuse the reimbursement if the rigging failure is the cause after a lack of maintenance.
Maintain regularly your engines. Insurance companies cover “Machinery breakdown” but not if the surveyor note the breakdown is due to a lack of maintenance or a normal wear.
