Howdy,

just wondering who has their gear insured, what company and premiums you pay.

I just tried to insure my 3 boards through SGIC and they want to have 3 different boating policies for each board. Each policy would be an annual fee of 189.00 dollars and cover me up to $3000 and this would cover me for my mast, boom and board, not even the sails. They had to be an added extra and more $$.

So i feel that this is pretty crap coverage.

Any ideas on who's good.

I haven't got my gear insured as it was far to expensive.

Wesfarmers.

I have a ****load of gear insured with them (including Windsurfing trailer) for a realistic annual premium. It is insured unconditionally for theft etc.

Well worth it and good to know it's covered.

Wesfarmers are excellent (you don't often hear that about Insurance companies).

Wifey had been naggin me for years about getting some insurance,felt pretty safe because apart from 2 boards on roof rack [wally ,tiga that cost total $153]the rest is locked up in a trailer.Did a stock take and came up with about 14 gs worth,went to the insurance broker and he said no, new -replacement cost then come back and see us,+10gs later i cant remember the figures but to cover it all for replacement was out of the question IMO,but by simply adding it to my household contents cover[no extra premium] i have cover that entitles me to a max 2g claim on any single item annually.
