In this report, vessels in scope are those measuring between 2.5 metres and 24 metres, owned primarily for personal use and located in UK waters. Moreover, the universe of vessels considered in scope can be segmented into five categories: sailing boats (e.g. sailing yachts, catamarans), canal boats (e.g. houseboats, narrow boats), motor boats (e.g. cruisers, motor boats), power boats (e.g. ribs, sports boats, personal watercraft), and other boats still in scope (e.g. rowing boats). Insurance for such vessels is mainly to cover hull, property and third-party liability risks with legal protection and / or personal accident cover sometimes added.
