British Marine Federation Statistics Highlight Value of Boat Insurance

The British Marine Federation released their Spring 2010 Industry Trend Results last week in a report that will come as a welcome relief to industry professionals and enthusiasts alike. The research suggests that the marine and boating industry has managed to stay above water during the worst of the economic downturn, and is now progressing forward at what is being described as a ‘steady’ pace. But with the statistics suggesting that more crafts are due to return to Britain’s coasts and waterways, boat insurance specialists ‘Insure My Boat’ are highlighting the necessity of effective cover.

36% of the businesses consulted said that marine activity had increased over the last 6 months, as opposed to the 26% who disagreed. While this may seem negligible, it does result in a net balance of +10% which experts are citing as a good indication for continued growth during the second half of the year and into 2011. But while most would agree that the recent figures should be welcomed, it’s feared that an influx of sailors of all kinds could lead to a boost in collisions and organised crime.

David Quick, Director of Insure My Boat welcomed the return of increased opportunities for all in the marine sector, but urged caution in the face of these predictions. He said:

‘This report really does vindicate those industry professionals and enthusiasts who have stood by and supported the marine sector during the difficulties of the past few years. It would therefore be a terrible shame to see those sailors who return excitedly to the water suffer at the hands of marine craft theft or collisions of any kind. That’s why the Insure My Boat team feel that boat insurance is so essential.’

It’s clear that, should crime statistics begin to rise, the commercial marine sector will do everything it can to safeguard the crafts and possessions of private boat owners. The British Marine Federation report denotes an admirable optimism amongst those involved in the sector. As many as 40% of those surveyed viewed the coming six months as having good or excellent prospects, suggesting that criminals face a confident and united industry.

However experts are reminding commercial and private boat owners that only they have the power to truly protect their investments by sourcing effective boat insurance from a provider like Insure My Boat. The recession has reminded many sailors of the importance of protecting what equity they have, regardless of the commodity to which it is tied.

Over and above what the Federation’s report quantifies, many people in the marine and boating industry are speaking of an excitement in the air that tells of better days to come; it would be a shame to miss out on the industry’s exciting recovery due to neglecting to secure adequate and cost effective boat insurance cover.

Most of us wouldn’t dream of leaving the house during summer without a decent pair of sunglasses, and rightly so. Such an oversight would have us squinting our way through the day, which is definitely not a look many of us suit. Luckily, with quality products from Dominic Tunnell such as Oakley sunglasses, revellers can enjoy the outdoors this summer in complete style, whilst remaining fully protected. The Whisker range from Oakley is ideal for those of us for whom being able to see perfectly in bright light is essential – such as hikers, bikers and mountain climbers.

This is because each pair in this selection blocks out 100% of the harmful UVA, UVB and UVC rays that reach the earth’s surface from the sun. This helps preserve and protect the eyes for the future. But this is simply one advantage of the Whisker range; the titanium framed Oakleys in this collection take innovation one step further.

Their wire frames are the thinnest ever created by the sunglasses specialist and offer a super-lightweight feel combined with less cranial pressure. This is ideal for athletes and those with active lifestyles who require a level of durability that won’t slow them down.

These sunglasses are available to buy online from Dominic Tunnell more cheaply than on the high street, and wearers remark upon how versatile the Whisker range is, offering a comfortable fit for all shapes and sizes. In fact, Oakley has endeavoured to increase the range and quality of the peripheral view these sunglasses offer, affording active wearers a wide and crystal clear scope of their surroundings.

Glasses from the Whisker range, purchased online from us represent the ultimate fusion of style, protection and usability. Here at Dominic Tunnell we stock these class leading Oakley sunglasses with polarised lenses of varying shades too, so wearers can achieve a totally unique look.

For me personally, I think there is nothing better than on a damp, dreary day to sit down and enjoy a comedy movie to really lighten the mood. I do however get fed up with my DVD collection and have recently embarked on the journey that is looking for free movies online. It’s taken a while for me to come across a company that I can trust to supply me with high quality movies but now I’ve discovered this reputable company there is no going back for me.

They have a great selection of independent comedy movies that don’t take hours to load up and I’m not bombarded with hundreds of pop ups leaving me to enjoy the film with my bag of popcorn beside me. As a comedy fan I know of a number of films that I couldn’t get hold of on DVD, yet through this company I’ve been able to search for them via the toolbar and find some of the best independent movies around.

I was concerned about the legality of scouring the web for free movies but I have complete trust in this web based movie provider. They have a proper distribution licence and I can have the peace of mind that I’m not going to get into any trouble through watching their movies online. All I need to do is connect up my broadband internet connection and off I go.

I’ve found that it’s also a great way to bring me and my friends together as they come around and enjoy an evening watching some of the best independent comedy movies from around the world. I’ve got a newer flat screen TV so am able to connect it up my computer so we can enjoy the movies on both forms of technology.

Having a totally legal, easy service to view free movies online has really changed my outlook towards watching films over the internet. Through this trustworthy and established company I have been able to view and then comment on some of the best independent comedy movies that have been made, all from the comfort of my own home.

Wheelchair ramps are crucial pieces of equipment that enable individuals with a range of disabilities to access areas within their own home or in commercial properties, that would otherwise be out of bounds. Business owners that are planning to purchase wheelchair ramps could be forgiven for thinking that there is only one variety of ramp, in fact there are hundreds with many different properties that make each individual product ideal for a specific purpose. At K5 we supply a number of ramps, from lightweight telescopic varieties through to hardy rubber ramps.

When purchasing a new wheelchair ramp, the first thing to consider is where it is going to be used. Is it going to be placed indoors or outdoors? If the answer to this question is outdoors, then it is vital to purchase a rubber ramp that has plenty of grip, making it safe for use whatever the weather conditions. A metal ramp that is likely to become slippery is not only a hazard for those using wheelchairs, but for the wider public as well. Some varieties of metallic ramps may also become rusty, meaning that the appearance of the business is likely to be compromised if the wrong wheelchair ramp is chosen.

Fortunately, we at K5 understand that not everyone is as knowledgeable about wheelchair ramps as our experienced team. That is why we are on hand to help home and business owners to make the best choice based upon their specifications. Clients can find a comprehensive catalogue on our website, which includes images and thorough details about each of the products that we supply.

If you would like to find out more about our selection of wheelchair ramps that are perfect for use both indoors and outdoors, take a look at our online brochure. Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that it will be hardwearing, lightweight and it will last a lifetime.
