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.

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.
