Review of the GJW Direct, Marine Insurance:

Damaged keel matrix and lessons learnt

I found cracks to the keel matrix sometime after having the boat lifted for a winter layup. I knew the cracks were recent as I had removed the floorboards for cleaning only a few weeks before but had no photographic proof that there was no damage before the yard lifted and propped the boat [in a way I wasn't wholly happy with, but trusted them as the experts]. GJW swiftly organised a survey and the boat was in repair within a few weeks with minimum fuss and I couldn't be happier. I since found out that damage during laying up/launching up is not uncommon and taking photographs under the floor boards before lifting is well worth the inconvenience especially as this also happened to a friend and their insurance company were not so forthcoming as they didn't have photos from before the yard took their boat out the water.
