Worth knowing
Cat Ketch Corporation; cover, cost and conditions
Cat Ketch Corporation is listed with 6 models, all sailing yachts. The range included the Herreshoff Cat Ketch 28, 33, 40 and 45 and the Sparhawk 36 CK and 42 CK. Recorded build years run from 1985 to 1992, lengths from 8.4 to 13.5 m.
The cat ketch rig is what sets these yachts apart: two freestanding masts without shrouds, each carrying one sail. That simplifies handling, but for insurance it means replacing and repairing the special masts is more involved than with a standard rig. The sum insured should reflect that.
NAMMERT insures these yachts regardless of build year and of where they were bought, including imports from the USA. As the boats are over thirty years old today, we recommend an agreed fixed value based on a survey. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What is a cat ketch rig?
A rig with two freestanding masts and no shrouds, each carrying its own sail. It is simple to handle, but the special masts are more involved to replace than a standard rig.
Is mast damage covered?
Under comprehensive hull cover yes, if it results from an event. What matters is that the sum insured allows for the cost of a special mast, otherwise it covers only part of the replacement.

For a series of this age 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.
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.
