The owners of a 2020 Leopard 40 recently purchased in the British Virgin Islands face significant logistical and mechanical hurdles while preparing for their first passage to St Martin.3:13 After completing a bottom job and applying anti-foul at Nanny Cay Marina, the crew struggled to secure marine insurance due to their Australian flag registration and stated plans to transit the U.S. East Coast.11:08 They eventually obtained coverage through Keen's specialist insurance, which proved significantly cheaper than quotes from Topsail UK or Pantaenius.
