Worth knowing
Avon Marine; cover, cost and conditions
The Avon Searider is the RIB that made this type of boat known: originally built for sea rescue services and public authorities, with a deep V hull and tubes made of Hypalon. Used Seariders continue in private hands today, often with a considerably stronger engine than the factory version. That is exactly what has to be reported, as the power output in kW is the basis for calculating the premium.
Hypalon tubes last considerably longer than PVC, but they age as well. Sudden damage from a cut, a collision or vandalism is covered, while porous seams after thirty years are wear and tear. If a tube has been newly re-covered, the invoice belongs in the valuation, because it is a substantial part of the current value.
Many Seariders come into private ownership as former authority or rescue boats. For the insurance, the previous use is not an exclusion, it simply belongs in the statement of value. The engine with its power output and serial number and the trailer with its value complete the contract, and the trailer is covered by the third-party liability at no extra premium from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Do you insure the Avon Searider?
Yes, for Avon too: like any other RIB.
What matters is the value, the engine power, the year of construction and the cruising range,
not the age of the hull.
Is a newly re-covered Hypalon tube included in the value?
Yes, for Avon too: if you report it.
Re-covering is a value-increasing measure and belongs in the agreed value.
Can former authority boats be insured?
Yes, for Avon too: The previous use is not a ground for exclusion,
it simply has to be stated honestly in the value.
