We all know that we're
required to help fellow boaters,

Where do you find this requirement?

You're required to render assistance to boats in distress unless it puts
you, your crew, or you boat in peril.


Just because you have a contract doesn't mean you're limited
to what you'll insist on collecting.

Simply a wrong statement of the law.

So, what you're saying is that if I have a contract with you, and I decide
not to enforce it, I'm liable somehow????


In other words, your Lloyds contract isn't worth it and best not used. If
one has to use a contract to feel more secure, one based and enforced by
US
jurisdiction would be more appropriate; thus, the one I mentioned from
BoatUS.

Why do you believe US courts would not enforce the LLoyds contract? Does
it
call for jurisdiction and venue exclusively in another jurisdiction?

I believe it does from what I've read. The requirement is for action in an
English courtroom I believe.

Why don't you look into it and let us know.
