C. J. Broom and Sons Limited; cover, cost and conditions
Broom is an English yard on the Norfolk Broads, the branching network of waterways in the east of England. Charles John Broom bought the works at Brundall on the north bank of the River Yare in 1898, where he had previously worked himself, and began by building sailing cruisers. A hire fleet followed from 1912. After the First World War his sons carried the business on and turned it towards motor cruisers. You recognise the boats by the flat, very low silhouette, the freeboard carried well down and the enclosed helm: shapes that come from rivers with low bridges rather than from the sea.
Our model records list 62 Broom models: 51 motor yachts, seven motorboats and four sailing yachts. Recorded build years run from 1965 to 2020. Sixty series are recorded: the Coupe models 30 and 35, also as hardtops, the numbered range with 365, 370, 395, 425, 430, 450 and 455, the 35 CL, 39 KL and 39 2Plus2, and the 50 in the AC, AD and OS versions. From earlier years come boats such as the Broom 9.70 and the Broom 10.70 Sceptre and the sailing boats Aqua 30 and Aquarius. Lengths run from 4.1 to 16.2 metres, half the models between 10.4 and 12.8 metres.
The water these boats were drawn for is the thing to understand about them. A river cruiser works between locks, bridges and tight moorings, and that produces a different kind of wear from the open sea: rubbed topsides, bumped rubbing strakes and the occasional touch on a shallow channel edge. The low superstructure that looks unusual alongside a coastal boat is there for one reason, which is the bridges.

For the Broom 30 Coupe HT, Broom 30 Coupe, Broom 35 Coupe by C.
J.
Broom and Sons Limited and 32 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 Broom 36, Broom 39, Aquarius by C.
J.
Broom and Sons Limited and 21 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 Broom 30 Coupe HT, Broom 30 Coupe, Broom 35 Coupe by C.
J.
Broom and Sons Limited and further series:
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.
Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
For the Ocean 34, Aquarius, S&S 34 by C.
J.
Broom and Sons Limited 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.
For the Saturn de Luxe, Aries, Aquarius by C.
J.
Broom and Sons Limited and further series:
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
