Worth knowing
Herkens; cover, cost and conditions
Herkens is recorded with one sailing yacht, the Andros, built from 1970 to 1981. Further model ranges are not available. A yacht from that time reaches a new owner today through the second-hand market, and the insurance policy begins with the question of the value.
Instead of a fluctuating current value we arrange an agreed value. It is based on what the replacement of a comparable boat costs and remains decisive when a claim arises. A deduction for depreciation (new for old) does not take place, and in the Premium tariff this applies with no age limit.
On this yacht the sail area counts as a premium factor, along with the type of boat, value, build year and cruising range. Third-party liability forms the basis with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards, and cover also applies in winter storage.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How high should the agreed value for an Andros be?
It should correspond to what a comparable boat in similar condition costs. We set the sum together and, when a claim arises, pay compensation with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
Does it matter where the boat was bought?
No. We insure regardless of build year, place of purchase and previous owners. For the premium the type of boat, value, build year, sail area and cruising range count.

Series by Herkens, build years and cover
Andros is a sailing yacht from Herkens, built from 1970 to 1981.
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.
