Worth knowing
Boudignion; cover, cost and conditions
We found no reliable record of Boudignion's home port, founding or designers, so this page rests on our model records alone. They show a yard whose boats date from the late sixties to the early eighties and are almost all sailed. The names stand out: Sormiou and Niolon are places on the coast near Marseille, while Lofoten, Cap Nord and Langoe point north, next to Calao, Flamant and Cap-Breton. Only the two Pescadou models carry numbers, roughly their length in centimetres, and the Mini-Pescadou is the smallest member of that family.
Our records list 14 Boudignion models: 7 sailing boats, 6 sailing yachts and one motorboat. The sailing boats run from the 4.55 metre Mini-Pescadou through the Pescadou 530 and 600, Capestan, Sormiou and Extra Paulette to the 7.5 metre Langoe. The yachts start with the 8 metre Calao and climb through Lofoten, Niolon, Cap Nord and Flamant to the Cap-Breton, at 13.7 metres the longest model. The lone motorboat is the 7.25 metre Tayo Mare. Most models are recorded from 1967; the Extra Paulette lasts longest, to 1983.
The small Pescadou and Sormiou boats are light enough for a road trailer and a quick launch at the ramp, which makes lakes and new coastlines easy to reach. The yachts from eight metres are berth boats. Every one of them is now over forty years old, so original gelcoat, deck fittings and rigging deserve a close look, and a dry winter ashore helps an older hull more than another season afloat.

and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
For the Extra Paulette, Capestan, Pescadou 530 by Boudignion and further series:
On boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides.
A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
For the Tayo Mare by Boudignion series: On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For the Calao, Cap-Breton, Cap Nord by Boudignion and further series:
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.
