Worth knowing
BWC Illmensee; cover, cost and conditions
Thirty-four model ranges are recorded for BWC Illmensee, many of them sailing boats that have been in the programme since the nineteen seventies and still are today. The Flying Bee has been built since 1973, the Flying Cruiser S since 1972. Both models are found in our portfolio, so we already insure boats of this brand.
Anyone taking part in club races with a Flying Bee or a Flying Fish is included from the Basis-Plus tariff upwards. Races with scoring status are to be stated when you take out the policy. In this way hull cover remains in place even when things get tight on the course.
Small sailing boats often move between water and trailer. Cover applies during craning, during launching, on the road and in winter storage, and the boat 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. The premium is based on the type of boat, value, year of construction, sail area and cruising range, never on the brand.

As the BWC Flying Bee, BWC Flying Comby,
BWC Flying Cruiser Family by BWC Illmensee and 5 more series are still in production,
parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
For the BWC Flying Cruiser dinghy, Flying Bee Sport,
Flying Cruiser F Family by BWC Illmensee and 7 more series the market value and the replacement
cost often differ widely.
An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
For the Flying Cruiser S, Strale,
Flying Cruiser B by BWC Illmensee and 5 more series 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.
For the BWC Flying Bee, BWC Flying Comby,
BWC Flying Cruiser Family by BWC Illmensee 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 Combisport by BWC Illmensee 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 Flying Racer 80 by BWC Illmensee 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.
