Worth knowing
Dinghies and keel one-designs; cover, cost and conditions
The German dinghy and keelboat classes, Pirat, Zugvogel, O-Jolle, Korsar and the Kielzugvogel, form a fleet that ranges from pre-war wooden boats to current GRP hulls and is actively sailed on inland lakes and the Baltic. What they have in common is that they are classes with a measurement certificate: what may be altered on the boat is laid down.
For a repair, class conformity therefore counts. Hull damage must be repaired so that weight and shape stay within the class tolerance, otherwise the boat loses its eligibility to race, and with it a considerable part of its value. When reporting a claim, state that it is a class boat; we will then put you in touch with a yard that knows the rules.
For well kept examples the value of these boats is higher than the age suggests. The market is narrow, the classes are active, and a restored wooden hull carries the value of the work, not of the material. Have it established by a surveyor and set it as an agreed value; without it the figure would be written down by age, and the result would have nothing to do with the replacement value.
