<div>Hi All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i enquired about insurance for my boat as i thought it was a requirement to have insurance in order to use the boat in the harbour.  </div>
<div><br>Anyway, i did get a quote for insurance for hull only, £2250 a year.  This was for hull only.  ie if it sunk, got crushed, lost, stolen etc, i could claim (if i was still alive).  Expensive, but not unbearable.  They would not insure an uncertified boat for liability.<br>
</div>
<div>Also, ive already had a request for a commercial job.  Inspecting something in the local resovoir.  i explained to them that i was not insured and they just said it was ok and they would sign a disclaimer similar sounding to Carstens.  Supposed to be doing that next summer.  Should be interesting.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div>James<br></div>

<div>Hi Jon,</div>
<div>it will have some similar aspects to the ambient, which was really a model /</div>
<div>mock up for a 1 ATM.</div>
<div>1st stage is nailing down exactly what I need for certification, then work with</div>
<div>CAD & models to come up with as small a hull as comfortably possible, before</div>
<div>building. Give me a couple of years.......</div>
