Meanwhile, are you on Facebook? There's a Morgan 46 Sailboats page on which I don't think I've seen you; there's a database of M46x of which I'm currently the only 461 (at last look, anyway) despite there being more of us in the group.

Interesting on Gowrie. I'm M461 hull no. 10 and haven't (yet) had a problem. We'll see what happens when this renewal comes up.
I'm a longtime member of the FB group and post there all the time. Tom Lundin on Tallawah.

We paid about $600 per year through Progressive for a policy on our 72 Morgan OI. 300k coverage.

Just out of curiosity, what OI (41, 51, 33, etc.)?

Ours is a 72 OI 41’ ketch.

If you're on facebook there is a "Morgan 41 OI Owners" group that is pretty active we can help with issues that you are working on! Lots of great help there.

Sadly we ditched Facebook early this year.

I did start a Morgan 41 owners group on MeWe though and thankfully there are a lot of YouTube owners posting as well. Between those options and cruisers forums we are good to go for most information. Thank you though!

Progressive is sending me a quote form; ours is newer

For those watching the thread, I'm making progress; I'll post the outcome when it's finished, too.

Is anyone aware of a similar provider offering coverage in Australia: 50yo converter steel trawler in Cairns?

Fair winds,

Actually, on further reflections, that DOESN'T explain it. Why would liability be more in Florida? I can see why hull coverage would be (lightning, crowded waters, hurricanes) -- but why liability?

Thanks,
Jack

If you're boat sinks or gets washed into the mangroves you are liable for removing it. So I image that boat condition and location can effect liability

Thanks, I didn't think of that. Good point.
