Worth knowing
Columbia Yacht; cover, cost and conditions
Columbia Yacht is listed with 9 models, all sailing yachts. The range runs from the Columbia 26 through 28, 30, 34, 39, 43, 45 and 52 to the 57. Build years run from 1967 to 1988, lengths from 7.8 to 17.2 m.
These yachts come from the early days of series production in composite, with thick laminates and long lived hulls. Many are still sailing after fifty years. For insurance that means a depreciated book value does not represent a well kept ship, whereas an agreed fixed value does. The state of rig and shrouds also matters, because material fatigue counts as wear and is not covered.
NAMMERT insures Columbia yachts regardless of build year and of where they were bought, including imports from North America. For longer passages the cruising area should be extended beforehand. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Can my 1975 Columbia still be insured?
Yes. Build year alone excludes nothing. What matters is condition, value and cruising area. For ships of that age we recommend a survey and an agreed fixed value.
What applies to an old rig?
A failure through material fatigue counts as wear and is not covered, whereas a failure caused by an event is. A rig inspection before the season is therefore more than a formality on old yachts.
The cover that fits
For the whole class of boat
What matters for sailing boats and sailing yachts is the same across every brand; engine output, how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection. The class page lists every point and every brand in this class.

For a series of this age there is no list price left. That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it, and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
On sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts: a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat, and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
