Coral Sea: how the place works

Between Australia, New Caledonia and the Solomons lie wide reef areas, many of them poorly surveyed, and from November to April cyclones pass through. The reefs rise steeply out of deep water, and an echo sounder warns too late.

Coral Sea: what breaks there

Reef contact on a night passage is the case this area writes most often. A boat on an outer reef in the Coral Sea is practically unsalvageable, which is a constructive total loss.

Coral Sea: what this means for your policy

Settle two things: the cyclone blackout period, and whether reef contact on a night passage is covered without restriction. Some sets of conditions treat night sailing in reef areas as an increase in risk.
