An old  question comes to mind that always lurks in my brain when I look at
damaged  boat pictures like those we are seeing as a result of Ike.

Why should  an insurance company pay for any salvage or damage suffered as a
result of  manifest lack of storm preparation?


I think that damage to sails, jibs, ising glass, bimini's, dodgers etc.  
during a named storm (one that has a day or more warning) should not be  
reimbursed by an insurance company. Those parts should have been at home  or inside the 
boat!!! If the boat had been properly prepped they would not  have been 
damaged. Maybe it also should trigger an investigation by the  insurance company on 
wether there is ANY coverage on the boat.
