Worth knowing

Bruce Roberts (home-built); cover, cost and conditions

Home-built boats and small production runs can be insured with NAMMERT, and that is exactly the point here: the designs for home construction in steel and aluminium have been built since 1970 and 1975 respectively, up to the present day. Many boats are one-off pieces with their own fitting-out history, which matters for the valuation when the contract is taken out.

With a one-off piece there is no list value on which compensation could be based. That is why an agreed value is set in the full hull cover and, in the event of a claim, compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff without any age limit. Built-in equipment therefore belongs in the itemised list.

The sailing yachts lie between 9 and 15 metres; the premium follows the sail area instead of an engine power, and to this are added value, year of construction and cruising range. For voyages across borders NAMMERT issues the international certificate of insurance automatically in ten languages.

Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
