Worth knowing
Macalpine Downie; cover, cost and conditions
One cabin catamaran is on the list for Macalpine Downie, the Apache 40/45 MK-III with build periods from 1978 to 1989. Nothing further is recorded for this brand. We insure multihulls in the same way as monohulls, with third-party liability as the basis and hull cover as an option.
With boats from small model ranges the agreed value helps: value and equipment are recorded when cover is taken out, and in the event of a claim compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. Small series and home-built boats can be insured too.
Cover applies in winter storage, during craning, during launching and while in transport. For a sailing boat the sail area counts towards the premium, supplemented by type of boat, value, year of construction and cruising range. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Are catamarans treated differently from monohulls?
No. Type of boat, value, year of construction, sail area and cruising range determine the premium. The cabin catamaran Apache 40/45 MK-III is classified according to the same factors.
Can boats from small model ranges be insured?
Yes, we accept small series and home-built boats. The agreed value fixes the value in the contract, so that the compensation does not depend on comparative offers.

Series by Macalpine Downie, build years and cover
Apache 40/45 MK-III is a cabin catamaran from Macalpine Downie, built from 1978 to 1989.
For a series of this age 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.
On catamarans the bridgedeck between the hulls is the sensitive part, and the berth belongs in the application: double width often means a mooring rather than a marina.
