Consonant Yachts; cover, cost and conditions

Consonant Yachts is a Dutch yard from Vriezenveen that began in 1995 by building launches. In 1999 it developed its own motor yacht type with Willem Nieland, the Kuster. North-Line Yachts of Harlingen took the yard over in 2015, and the business has since traded as Kuster Yachts. A Kuster is easy to spot: a sturdy profile borrowed from small coastal freighters, with a high bow and a wheelhouse. The model names pair a letter with a number close to the length in feet, so the A-31 measures 9.4 metres and the A-47 about 14.5.

Our records list six Consonant designs, all Kuster motor yachts: the A-31, A-38, A-42, A-45 and A-47 plus the C-42. The A-38 comes first in 2001, four more follow in 2002 and the A-47 arrives in 2012. All six run up to the most recent build years. Lengths go from 9.4 metres for the A-31 to 14.54 metres for the A-47.

Kusters are displacement boats for canals, rivers, lakes and sheltered coastal waters. Their wheelhouses make them comfortable in spring and autumn, which stretches the season well beyond summer. Locks and narrow canals call for good fenders and a working bow thruster, and many owners lift the boat out over winter or move it into a shed.

What this means for the cover

As the Kuster A-31, Kuster A-38,

Kuster A-42 by Consonant Yachts and 3 more series are 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.

For the Kuster A-31, Kuster A-38, Kuster A-42 by Consonant Yachts 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.
