SAR is free in the US (at least on the water) but you may lose your equipment. Sign up with a towing company to have your boat rescued.

I started a thread on BWCA.com forums and there are some posts there that may be interesting to you.

It appears USCG rescues are free of charge, as are NPS. So the insurance isn't all that necessary, depending on where you go.

Hi all, does anyone know another SAR insurance that would cover a race? I’m doing to UF2022 and my loved ones want to treat me to some even though USCG rescues are free. And I have Seatow already too.
