Worth knowing
Klein; cover, cost and conditions
Klein is recorded in the NAMMERT database with 14 models, mostly sailing yachts. The fleet is shaped by the Vanguard series from the Vanguard I to the Vanguard 1600, plus the Kestrel motor yachts. Build years lie between 1965 and 1991, lengths between roughly 5.5 and 16.3 m.
All recorded build years date back decades. For older yachts an agreed fixed value policy is recommended instead of pure current value cover. Given the wide range of lengths, value and cruising area should be stated accurately.
NAMMERT insures Klein yachts regardless of build year and place of purchase. The premium can be calculated in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.

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.
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value. Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
