Worth knowing
Claasen Shipyards; cover, cost and conditions
Claasen in Zaandam builds classically drawn sailing yachts using modern construction methods, the Truly Classic range and Pilot Cutter replicas between 15 and 40 metres, with aluminium hulls beneath classic lines. It is the combination of classic appearance and present-day engineering.
For insurance purposes this is a pleasant constellation: the look is classic, the substance is modern. No timber surcharge, no seam problems, no hull wear as on a genuine wooden yacht, but instead aluminium with the familiar requirements regarding anode care and shore power. For yachts with a sum insured above 2.5 million euros the underwriting is handled personally; for smaller builds the online calculator is enough.

Does a classically drawn aluminium hull have disadvantages in insurance terms?
