A flood watch advisory is more serious and indicates that flooding is expected as water rises and overfills banks. Boaters need to take action to secure their boats before conditions worsen. Be aware that flooding often brings debris into the water that can damage your yacht.

High stream flow advisory will usually indicates that minor flooding could occur as water rises quickly. Boaters should take care to secure their watercraft, particularly in low-lying areas. Rapidly rising water may necessitate adjusting the height of docks to minimize damage.

With runoff advisories you want to be cautious of rising levels and take precautionary measures to secure your yacht or boat. Runoff advisory means that water levels will likely rise as the snow melts, with areas most at risk being in low lying areas near the affected bodies of water.

Be watchful for advisories that could indicate risk for your boat or yacht and keep an eye out for weather reports about conditions that include a spring runoff and stream flow advisory, flood watch, or flood warning.

Flooding may bring to mind closed roads and building damage, however they also pose a risk to boaters. Dangerous debris and rapidly changing water levels are just a couple reasons spring is a good time to review your boat or yacht insurance coverage.

Water sports liability is automatically included with your policy, for bodily injury or property damage caused by someone towed by your watercraft for activities such as water-skiing, knee boarding, wake boarding or tubing.

This ski was handcrafted from ash wood under the skillful eye of Bob Maher at his workshop in 1966. Of course, every custom ski Maher has produced since 1950 is unique in some form or fashion. But this Maherajah 3.5, with its classic pointed tip, sharp bevels and fl at rocker design, would help define a future water ski legend’s young career.

Enter 13-year-old California native Kris LaPoint. With his new wooden tunnel concave Maherajah, LaPoint arrived at the Tournament of Champions in San Diego’s Mission Bay only to discover that his junior boys division was not allowed in the event. His only option was to compete in the older boys’ age division, which required skiing at 36 mph, a considerable departure from his usual 34 mph boat speed. The news didn’t phase LaPoint one bit. The tall, lanky teenager miraculously adapted to the increased boat speed and blazed the course, setting a new world slalom record with three buoys at 36 off (equivalent to 35 off/12m today). It was the first of seven world records for LaPoint, and the occasion marked the beginning of an era of dominance he had on the special ski.

From 1966 to 1972, LaPoint and his famed Maha accomplished great things on the water, like winning five Masters titles, the first being in 1967 when he won the event by an amazing 16 buoys over his second-place competitor. “It was definitely my hay day,” recalls LaPoint. “Although I won quite a few events later in my career, my most dominant time was on that ski in the late ’60s and early ’70s.” LaPoint is, without a doubt, the enduring face of pro water skiing.

Pollution liability coverage coverage is for unintentional oil or fuel spills for which you are legally responsible because of an accident.

With liability only the “only” option allows you to make the decision if the liability coverage is all you want. Which means you would only have coverages for damage you do to a third party (their injuries and property damage)
