Judge Rules Against Nathan Carman Regarding Boat Insurance Claim

A federal judge has ruled against Nathan Carman regarding an insurance policy for his sunken boat. Carman was rescued off the coast of Massachusetts in September 2016.

His mother Linda was also on the boat but hasn’t been seen since.

A trial was held in August regarding an $85,000 insurance claim.

In the ruling, a judge said Carman’s boat was “unseaworthy when it left Rams Point Marina on September 17, 2016 because he improperly repaired the holes he created by removing the trim tabs, and he compromised the boat’s stability by removing the bulkheads.”

During the trial, Nathan Carman defended his account of his boat sinking, and talk about his seven days at sea.
