My wife and I are doing the same thing, and
insurance is the hold-up. We are
buying a UK
boat and are US citizens planning to re-flag the
boat in the US. We have already received the green light from the USCG regarding
documentation, but finding
insurance for cruising the UK,
Baltic &
Mediterranean before returning to
New England has proved to be much more difficult. I suspect this is more due to us not having the right contacts, but still there seems to be a vacuum of information. We have tried several of the companies listed above, but no luck yet. Pantenaus(sp) for example does not insure American flagged boats anymore.
Please keep sending in those ideas and concrete resources!
