Worth knowing
Kanter Yachts; cover, cost and conditions
Kanter has been building boats in St. Thomas, Ontario, near Lake Erie, since 1977. The yard works in aluminium and, where needed, steel, much of it built to order: sightseeing, fishing and work boats alongside motor and sailing yachts for long passages, including the long range Passagemaker motor yachts. Two naming systems help place a Kanter. Smaller boats carry their length in metres, such as the Kanter 7m Patrol, while the yachts carry a number in feet, from the Kanter 45 to the Kanter 80, plus the Passagemaker and Bougainvillaea names.
Our model records list 33 models: eleven motor boats, six rigid inflatables, eight motor yachts and eight sailing yachts. Build years run from 2006 into current production, with 30 of the 33 still being built. Lengths go from 6.1 to 24.4 metres, half between eight and 17.2 metres. The metric boats run from 6.05 to 10.5 metres in open, cabin and patrol versions. The motor yachts start with the Kanter 45 at 13.7 metres, and the Passagemaker 54, 62 and 74 measure 17 to 22.6 metres. The sailing yachts range from the Kanter 47 at 14.4 metres to the Kanter 80 at 24.4 metres.
Many Kanters are one offs or close to it. The yachts are built for ocean passages and long seasons away, the metric boats for lakes, rivers and sheltered coasts. Value follows the build: hull material and specification, engines and hours, tankage and systems, and on the sailing yachts the rig.

As the Kanter 6-7 Runabout, Kanter 6.5m,
Kanter 6m Cuddy by Kanter Yachts and 27 more series are still in production,
parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
For the Kanter 7m, Passagemaker 68 and Kanter 45 by Kanter Yachts series the market value and the
replacement cost often differ widely.
An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
For the Kanter 6-7 Runabout, Kanter 6.5m, Kanter 6m Cuddy by Kanter Yachts and further series:
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For the Kanter 6m Open, Kanter 7.3m Open, Kanter 9.5m Cabin by Kanter Yachts and further series:
On an inflatable the cause decides, not the damage: a tear from impact is covered,
porous fabric after years in the sun is not.
The outboard belongs in the policy with its serial number.
For the Kanter 47, Kanter 53, Kanter 65 by Kanter Yachts and further 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.
For the Kanter 50, Kanter 56, Kanter 57 by Kanter Yachts and further series:
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.
Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
