Worth knowing
Grabner; cover, cost and conditions
Grabner builds inflatable boats by hand in Upper Austria from vulcanised rubber fabric; Holiday, Riverstar and Adventure are touring boats with a service life that exceeds that of many rigid-hull boats, and with values in the mid four-figure range. These values make hull insurance a sensible product for a Grabner.
The quality of workmanship is the reason these boats last so long: vulcanised seams instead of glued ones, pressure-resistant chambers, repairable material. A Grabner from 1995 is often still in use. For insurance this means that the current value falls slowly; set the value at market level, not according to straight-line depreciation, otherwise you will be underinsured.
With whitewater boats such as the Riverstar, use is an additional factor. Contact with rock is part of operation and is not a claim; being slit open by sharp-edged rock, on the other hand, is external damage and is covered by full hull cover. The line runs between abrasion from intended use and an event. On tours the equipment can be insured as accessories if it is listed in the application.
