Worth knowing
Norman; cover, cost and conditions
Nine model ranges are documented from Norman, built between 1965 and 1983: motor boats from the Norman 14 to the Norman 23 as well as sailing boats such as the Seadrift. New craft from this yard have not been available since the eighties; anyone who wants a Norman buys second hand. It is precisely for this that the policy should bring the right approach to value.
When buying second hand, the replacement value is the central figure. In full hull cover NAMMERT agrees an agreed value: in a total loss this sum is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. Discussions about the current market value of a boat more than forty years old are thus ruled out from the start.
A cabin boat of this brand already sails in our own portfolio. Cover applies in winter storage, during craning, launching and in transit, and the trailer is covered by the third-party liability at no extra premium from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium. Premium and rating follow the type of boat, value, year of construction, engine output or sail area and cruising range, not the name Norman.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I avoid a dispute about the current market value of a used Norman?
For Norman: Through the agreed value: the sum insured is agreed when the policy is taken out and,
in a total loss, paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
In the Premium tariff this applies with no age limit.
Does cover also apply to sailing boat model ranges such as the Seadrift?
Yes, for Norman too: On sailing boats the sail area takes the place of engine output as a premium
factor; otherwise the cover is identical.
Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards.
