Worth knowing
Ring Powercraft; cover, cost and conditions
Ring builds fast RIBs with a deep V that are run with a lot of engine power for their size. The power determines the premium, and the kill switch with its lanyard determines whether a fall turns into personal injury. The two belong together.
For fast boats it is worth looking at the deductible. Small damage to the tubes and the console adds up in hard use; a higher deductible noticeably lowers the premium and affects only the cases you repair yourself anyway.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does engine power influence the premium?
Yes, considerably. On light RIBs with powerful engines it is the most important factor.
Is a higher deductible worthwhile?
In intensive use yes, it lowers the premium and concerns only small damage.

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 your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.
Series by Ring, with value and cover
Ring 420 / 500 is an inflatable with engine from Ring (the United Kingdom), built from 1995 to 2020, and today changes hands at between €7,000 and €26,000.
Ring 600 / 750 is an inflatable with engine from Ring (the United Kingdom), built since 2000, and today changes hands at between €22,000 and €85,000.
For a series built in these years 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.
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.
As the series is 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.
