Worth knowing
Hermes-Plastik; cover, cost and conditions
When buying an older sailing boat the replacement value is the decisive figure. From Hermes-Plastik four model ranges are recorded, the Kim-A type, the Kim-B type, the Kim Kreuzer and the Kim Jollenkreuzer, built between 1967 and 1980. We fix this value in the contract as an agreed value.
Production lies far in the past, and further information about the yard is not available to us. That changes nothing about the insurability: we insure regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners, and in the Premium tariff the agreed value applies with no age limit.
On sailing boats the sail area enters into the premium, together with value, year of construction, type of boat and cruising range. Club races are included from Basis-Plus. If a dispute with the seller or a yard arises after the purchase, we also offer legal expenses cover for water sports.
