Lodestar Boats; cover, cost and conditions

Lodestar builds inflatable boats with aluminium floors and rigid-hull RIBs in the mid-range segment. A simple rule applies to the cover: the hull is valued low, the engine is expensive, third-party liability is indispensable. The engine belongs in the contract with its serial number, otherwise hull insurance only covers the boat in the event of theft.

Anyone leaving the boat on the beach or at the slipway should think about securing it. Theft is covered under limited hull cover and full hull cover, and a tracker with its own power supply additionally brings a ten per cent discount on hull insurance.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

Is there a discount for theft protection?

Yes, for Lodestar too: ten per cent on hull insurance for a GPS or Bluetooth tracker with its own

power supply.

Is the aluminium floor covered as well?

Yes, for Lodestar too: it is part of the boat and included in the sum insured.

The cover that fits

For Lodestar: What matters for inflatables and RIBs is the same across every brand; engine output,

how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters

Licence

Required inland and at sea from 15 hp (11.03 kW); below that, none.

Registration

Registration from 3 hp; carry the boat certificate on maritime shipping routes.

Waters

Inland lakes, the coast and the Wadden Sea, mind the tide tables and the fairway.

Equipment

Lifejackets, paddles, pump, repair kit, anchor gear and signalling equipment.

Cruising range

RIBs close to the coast; check air pressure before every trip and after temperature swings.

Weather

From Beaufort 4 the ride turns hard, and offshore wind sharply raises the risk of drifting.

General guidance, not a complete account;

what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and the manual of your Lodestar.

Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

What this means for the cover

As the Lodestar 340 NSA by Lodestar series is still in production,

parts are available and repairs are predictable.

Still, set the value at replacement cost, including sails, rigging or gear you bought later.

As the Lodestar 380 3DV and Trimax 430 / RIB Open 410 by Lodestar 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 Lodestar 340 NSA by Lodestar series: Even without an engine the rule holds:

a tear from impact or vandalism is covered, UV ageing is wear.

For the Lodestar 380 3DV, Trimax 430 / RIB Open 410 by Lodestar 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.
