Worth knowing
Macwester; cover, cost and conditions
Macwester appears in our records with 13 models from 4.6 to 11 m, eleven sailing yachts and two sailing boats. The range runs from the Macwester 22 via the 26, 27, 28, 30 and 32 to the Macwester 36, joined by the Malin Ketch, Wight Class and Pelagian. Recorded build years lie between 1962 and 1988.
All Macwester build years lie decades back, so a fixed agreed value beats pure current value. Condition and completed refits should be reflected in the insured value. Rig and sails belong in the sum.
NAMMERT insures Macwester yachts regardless of build year and place of purchase. The premium can be calculated in the online calculator in 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 boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
