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.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How is the value of a boat from 1975 determined?
Through an agreed value that is arranged when the policy is taken out. In the event of a claim compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old). In the Premium tariff full hull cover applies with no age limit.
What applies to the Traveller as the only motor boat in the range?
For it the engine output goes into the premium, with the sailing boats the sail area. Type of boat, value, year of construction and cruising range count equally in both cases.
The cover that fits

On boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
