Worth knowing
Chessman Boats; cover, cost and conditions
For the Chessman Boats brand one model range is on record, the Quartet 25, built between 1975 and 1983. Nothing further is recorded about the build programme. Anyone buying such a boat today buys it second-hand, and for the policy only the boat counts: NAMMERT insures irrespective of build year, place of purchase and previous owners.
When buying second-hand the question of replacement arises. Under full hull cover an agreed value is therefore arranged and the indemnity paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. In this way it is settled before any claim with what amount your yacht is carried in the policy.
As a sailing yacht the Quartet 25 is rated not by engine output but by sail area, to which are added value, build year and cruising range. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards. Third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros remains the basis of every arrangement.

Series by Chessman Boats, build years and cover
Quartet 25 is a sailing yacht from Chessman Boats, built from 1975 to 1983.
For the Quartet 25 by Chessman Boats 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 Quartet 25 by Chessman Boats 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.
