Making a Marine Insurance Claim
by: Patrick Altoft
Noble Marine encourages all clients to use the online claim form. This will significantly improve the speed of communicating with you, enabling authorisation of the repairs or replacement items to occur far more quickly.
To assist you in finding a local repairer, our web site also has a directory of suppliers and repairers which is fully searchable by postcode or region.
What information may be required?
Whenever an incident occurs and another boat is involved, take a note of the details of the other persons / boats involved. Also don't forget to obtain the details of any potential witnesses. This is not always easy whilst afloat, but note the name of the boat or the sail number and make contact once you are ashore. The information you might require would be:
The name and address of the person who was in charge of the other vessel.
Are they the owner of the boat? If not, the name and address of the boat's owners will be required.
Their insurance company and policy number if known.
Their boat name and / or sail number.
If possible, take photographs of the damage to email or post with your claim form. If the claim relates to stolen or vandalised equipment, the incident should be reported to the police who will provide you with a Crime Reference Number.
Stolen equipment will be listed free of charge on www.stolenboats.org.uk
The Claim Form will need to show your details, including your policy number, the date, time and place of the incident, plus weather conditions if relevant, and contact details of the other persons involved and witnesses. A Crime Reference Number should be included if the claim is for theft or vandalism. Any photographs of the damage, will assist greatly.
You will also be required to arrange estimates for the repair or replacement items. Only one estimate may be required initially, however if the costs involved are large, further estimates may be required or a Surveyor may be appointed to inspect the boat or oversee the repairs.
Once all the required information has been received by Noble Marine, we will confirm how to proceed. More information may be required, or it may be necessary to communicate with the other party involved, or their Insurers, before authority can be given to proceed with the repairs.
Once the repairs have been completed you may be required to pay the full amount to the repairer before your boat is released to you, or you may be asked to pay just the amount of your policy excess. All invoices should be forwarded to Noble Marine for reimbursement.
If another party was responsible for the incident, we will assist you in recovering any costs you may have incurred.

Keeping A Healthy Weight
Keeping A Healthy Weight
by: Joseph Kenny
These days, more and more people are placing importance on keeping physically healthy. This can be seen by the amount of people who are joining gyms and sports clubs, going on diets, and spending on private health insurance. One of the biggest areas of concern in this area for women is keeping a healthy weight, this is because it not only effects their overall level of physical health, but is also recognised as playing an important role in mental and emotional well being, and self perception as well.
Most people know that being both over weight and under weight are not good for you, but health is about far more than just body weight. Things such as your family medical history, your genetic predispositions, how much you drink or smoke, what type of food you eat and how much exercise you get all have a major impact on health. There really is no ideal weight therefore that you should be seeking on purely...

Do You Need Life Insurance
by: Joseph Kenny
It can be very difficult to decide if you need life insurance. Life insurance can be an extremely onerous financial commitment and investment, and it will also last for a considerable period of time, so you should take careful consideration in deciding if it is the best way of achieving the financial and other goals you and your loved ones may have.
Life Insurance Policy
Basically, a life insurance policy will cause a sum to be paid to the named beneficiary upon the death of the insured. This sum will generally be paid to the beneficiary, free of income tax. So in which instances is life insurance generally used above its alternatives? Well its primary function is to provide death benefit protection in a tax efficient way. For example, if you would like to transfer wealth from your estate to your beneficiaries you can do it through life insurance.

DIY Plumbing Repairs - You Have Homeowners Insurance, Use It!
by: Ray Breitenbach
Since most home owners insurance policies don't cover the cost of repairs few people think to check with them when plumbing problems
occur. Although they may not cover the repair, they will usually cover the value of damaged property including cleaning up after the repair. The scope of this type of project is typically not a diy plumbing repair project so you will want to find any way you can to help pay for it.
A few years ago I had the misfortune of finding water seeping through a wall in my basement one spring. First this was blamed on a very wet season. Next, when dry weather came around and the leak was still there a basement waterproofing contractor was called in. It was no suprise when this contractor informed me that I had ground water and needed their expensive services. Since the company had a vested interest in me believing this they did not...

How Much Can You Save On Your Car Insurance?
How Much Can You Save On Your Car Insurance?
by: Derek Gardner
It costs a lot to get car insurance. No one would argue on that. Without one it would cost you more to drive if you had an accident. Still, you don't want to pay too much for it. So how can you save money on your car insurance premium?
Check several insurance companies. Don?t fall for the headline that says they got the best insurance deal in town. Find out for yourself by shopping around. It would be to your advantage to compare at least 3 quotes.
Find out how the prospective company is doing financially. Does the company have any complaints against them? What is their reputation for customer service? A good indicator of this could be seen on your initial visit. For example, did they take time to answer your questions or did they try to cut you off fast? Taking note of these things could save you some regrets later on.

Whole Life Insurance Explanation
Whole Life Insurance Explanation
by: Donald Lusan
A whole life insurance explanation should be required reading for anyone about to purchase life insurance. Whole life, in my humble opinion, has in recent years got a bad rap. People tend to buy term life insurance because it is cheaper. Although I believe that a good term insurance can take care of the insurance needs of most people, a good whole life insurance policy is worth looking at.
Guaranteed Death Benefit
The death benefit of a whole life insurance policy is guaranteed to stay level for the duration of the policy. If you think about it, that means a lifetime. That type of guarantee cannot be sneezed at. The premiums of your whole life insurance policy is also guaranteed never to increase. This is also a very important feature. The policy can never be cancelled by the insurance company.
Cash Value Accumulation
A whole life insurance policy has cash values, that cash...
