Looked like a giant pile of tires burning, the smoke was so black and

A curiosity question: If something like that happens on a dock, whose
insurance pays for the other boats that were damaged? Does the otiginal
cruiser's liablilty insurance cover the destruction to the other 4 boats
since they were" innocent bystanders" sitting where they were supposed
to be? Does the original boat's liability insurance pay for the repairs
to the marina?

The boat that burns pay to fix everything.
We had some clowns 30 ftr catch on fire here in the yard, he caught a
nice 50 ft yacht on fire and melted the side.
He had no insurance, so they sued the marina. Luckly the marina owner
has a release of liabilty form everyone has to sign to be hauled out.

I'm surprised the marina didn't insist that they have liability
insurance...ours won't let you in without it and they want an updated
policy every year...which is as it should be...I am thankful that there
are no gasoline engines anywhere near our boat...- Hide quoted text -

I'm surrounded by wood buildings full of big cigar boats full of high
octane fuel.
I keep a razor sharp burma machette handy so I can get out in about
30 seconds.
