Ah, boating on the open water...the sound of gently lapping waves, the hush of the lake at dusk, the crunch of fibreglass against rock... Whether you spend your summer quietly sailing the crystal waters of Ontario, pursuing adventure on the high seas or watching from the dock as the kids scream around the cottage with water skiers in tow...the smart captain knows that there‘s more to boat coverage than canvas. If you forgot to check your insurance policy when you launched your craft this spring, now is the time to pull it out, dust it off and have a good look at the fine print. Your local insurance broker is also standing by to offer advice. Here are the shallow waters to avoid: ANCHORS AWAYy!! The last thing on your mind is a sinking ship â€" especially yours! Should the unspeakable occur and your boat springs a leak you could be looking at some hefty recovery charges. If your insurance policy doesn‘t cover the cost of raising your Titanic, you‘ll be paying out of your pocket. By Malcolm Wright Mailcolm Wright There you are,...cruising along with the sun in your face and not a care in the world. Hey...who put a raft out here? Where‘d that dock come from? BANG! Even if you‘ve chosen not to insure your boat for damages â€" Who is to pay if your boat causes damage to personal or public property? Talk to your insurance broker about liability coverage. Accidents can happen and you really don‘t want to be paying for them long into your golden years. TOYS "R" OVERBOARD You may be the kind of person who thinks that all your boat insurance needs are covered. But what about the collection of toys on your boat...Laptops, cellular phones, fax machines and stereos! Don‘t assume these items are covered by your boat insurance if they are lost, stolen or fall overboard. Insurance issues can be complex. To be sure you get the right advice, we recommend you discuss your coverage with a qualified insurance expert belonging to the Insurance Brokers Association of Oakville. The Insurance Brokers of Oakville hope that you enjoy a happy and safe summer of boating. Please don‘t drink and drive â€" on land or on water.
