Worth knowing
Chantier Astusboats; cover, cost and conditions
Chantier Astusboats is listed with 14 models, 13 sailing trimarans and one sailing catamaran. The range runs from the Astus 14 through 16.5, 18.2, 20.2, 20.5, 22, 22.5 and 24 to the 26.5, joined by the Bay Dream 5.5. Build years run since 2003, lengths from 4.2 to 8 m.
Trimarans with folding floats are trailerable and are therefore often moved by road. That is where a large share of the damage arises: rigging and derigging, launching and transport. Hull cover should include land transport and time ashore. The second point is the folding mechanism itself, which is a moving component under load.
NAMMERT insures Astus trimarans regardless of build year and place of purchase, including boats bought directly in France. If the boat is raced, that belongs explicitly in the policy. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is damage to the folding mechanism covered?
If it results from an event, yes. Wear on joints and fittings, by contrast, counts as maintenance. On trailerable multihulls it is therefore worth checking the moving parts regularly.
Is my trimaran insured while on the trailer?
Under hull cover that includes transport, yes. That matters on these boats because they are moved by road several times in almost every season.
The cover that fits
For the whole class of boat
What matters for catamarans and multihulls is the same across every brand; engine output, how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection. The class page lists every point and every brand in this class.

As the series is 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.
On catamarans the bridgedeck between the hulls is the sensitive part, and the berth belongs in the application: double width often means a mooring rather than a marina.
On a trimaran the floats and their beams are the weak point, on folding models the mechanism as well.
For a series built in these years 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.
