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.
