Worth knowing
Helmut Schmilgeit; cover, cost and conditions
Four model ranges are recorded, among them three sailing boats and, with the Traveller, one motor boat. The production periods lie between 1965 and 1990. A boat from this list comes into new hands today only second hand, and for that the replacement value counts.
Instead of a depreciated value an agreed value is arranged. It fixes the value in the policy, and full hull cover pays with no deduction for depreciation (new for old). In the Premium tariff it applies with no age limit, so the year of construction 1967 does not stand in the way of the cover.
If a dispute about defects arises after the purchase or if there are disagreements with a yard, legal expenses insurance for water sports can be included. The existing policy of the previous owner is replaced by NAMMERT through the switching service, and the previous policy is cancelled free of charge.
