There's always something ...
When Juan passed through here in September of 2003, we doubled all the
lines connecting the Mirage 33 sailboat to it's slip... but forgot to
add extra line to wrap around the genoa... in fact we should have
taken it down.
The sail was blown out and ripped to shreds..... an $1800.00 loss. I
believe the owners insurance covered it.

Good luck. We're beginning to see a little wind, and radar shows a lot
of rain incoming shortly.

Let me get this straight: You left a sail on the rig during a
hurricane. Talk about a no-brainer. Wind equivalent of arson, almost.
Do you hand Ming vases to toddlers?

To digress slightly, here in Iowa we get tornados and there is very
little warning. We just had most of a town destroyed. More than a
hundred dead.

You live in Iowa in the middle of tornado alley? Talk about a no-brainer.

Insurance should not cover an error by the owner like the ripped sail.
Laziness and carelessness should not be rewarded. Just ups the rates for
the rest of us.

You just have to love it when the self-proclaimed "perfect" pipe up.
They're perfect, all right...perfect assholes.

Well you are a damn near perfect asshole. Why should insurance cover a
screw up like that. Sort of like leaving the dining room table outside in
the rain and claiming an insurance moment.
