I had towing insurance when I had my power boat but now that I have a small 14' sailboat Im not sure what services Seatow and BoatUS would offer

If anybody has had any experience with this please post

Thanks and take care

PS I know they are not going to tow me if the wind quits
I have a 19' sailboat with an electric Torqueedo motor for critical situations/convenience. I have not had a single critical situation since my first year with the boat (7 years ago?) when I was prone to noob errors. My guess is that 14' is too small for a motor. But as others have suggested, I think you are fine with a paddle and maybe someday a frantic wave to a power boat.

Always check the weather before you go out, stay out of the Broads as suggested above, and you're not going to be that far from home anyway
