Topsailinsurance / GH Insurance - Any Experience with Claims?

Dear fellow cruisers,
Does anyone have experience, 1st or 2nd hand, with Topsailinsurance (also goes under the name of GH Insurance)? They are UK-based, and offer longdistance boat insurance, Atlantic etc.
Did you or a cruising friend ever have a claim with them, and how did it all turn out, did they pay-up and perform satisfactory?
Topsailinsurance are insurance agents, and the actual insurer is RSA (Royal and Sun Insurance) who is a big-time and well consolidated company as I can see on www.
Any input is welcome!
Sincerely Niels

Royal & Sun Alliance are rated A by AM Best, so that's good. I have not seen their policy language though, so you will want to read through that. Is it an All Risks and Agreed Value policy? If you want me to take a quick look at it, send it to me by e-mail.

We used to do business with Royal & Sun Alliance a few years ago but they withdrew from the Marine insurance Market when their rating dropped to C. But I believe the UK division is a completely separate entity from the US entity. Below is todays rating on RSA of the UK:
