Worth knowing
Herkens; cover, cost and conditions
Herkens is recorded with one sailing yacht, the Andros, built from 1970 to 1981. Further model ranges are not available. A yacht from that time reaches a new owner today through the second-hand market, and the insurance policy begins with the question of the value.
Instead of a fluctuating current value we arrange an agreed value. It is based on what the replacement of a comparable boat costs and remains decisive when a claim arises. A deduction for depreciation (new for old) does not take place, and in the Premium tariff this applies with no age limit.
On this yacht the sail area counts as a premium factor, along with the type of boat, value, build year and cruising range. Third-party liability forms the basis with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards, and cover also applies in winter storage.

Series by Herkens, build years and cover
Andros is a sailing yacht from Herkens, built from 1970 to 1981.
For the Andros by Herkens series there is no list price left.
That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it,
and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
For the Andros by Herkens series:
On sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts:
a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat,
and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
