Matthew claims the Pipe Dream
She went under (mostly) tied to the dock. Just got back on the island today to find her that way. Filed a claim with BoatUS and will see what they say. We are thankful that our house was spared from major damage. The island is a mess. Will try to add sad pics tomorrow. Any advice on insurance claims and salvage would be greatly appreciated.

UGH!! Very sorry to hear about your boat. But on the good side, as you said, your home and your family were spared. And truly that's the most important thing. As far as the boat goes, they are remarkably resilient. Unless there was major structural damage (Hull breach for example) there's no reason to scrap her. The engine is another story, best told by Ferm or Spare. But I would think the Pipe Dream herself may be salvagable.

the good news is, you have insurance and i've heard boatus is the best one to deal with. the only experience i've had is a key largo that sank at the dock due to getting caught under the stringers at low tide, then when tide came in, flooded over the transom. we were able to drag it to the hill and pump the water out. once re-floated, put it on the trailer and got it home. boatus declared it total loss, paid the owner and sold him back the salvaged hull.
not sure of how much value u insured, but hull is probably ok.

Sorry to hear. So long as you get the hull pumped out fairly quickly, it should be fine, the hpdi is another story. I would suspect eeverything electrical as well as the high pressure fuel system is done for.

Hate to hear that Pipe. Glad you and your house made it, hopefully the insurance will make you whole.

Good luck Pipe, sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my Bertram 28 to Sandy. Boat US paid the declared value. Good luck my friend

Looking back at the restoration pics of the Pipe Dream is like a stroll down memory lane...she's perfect!
Can't recall if that was re-gel coated or painted?...whichever...would you do the same again, given the choice?
