Worth knowing
S.O.P.A.; cover, cost and conditions
One sailing yacht is on record under S.O.P.A., the Ares with years of construction from 1967 to 1975. No further model ranges are recorded. A yacht of this age spends a large part of the year ashore, in winter storage or on a cradle in the hall, and the cover applies there too.
It applies equally during craning, during launching and in transit. Damage in winter storage is already part of limited hull cover, together with fire, storm, lightning strike and theft of the entire boat. No separate contract is therefore needed for the time ashore.
For the value of a yacht from the sixties and seventies the agreed value applies; compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. Insurance is provided regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners, with third-party liability as the basis.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What damage is covered in winter storage?
Limited hull cover comprises damage in winter storage as well as fire, storm, lightning strike and theft of the entire boat. The cover also applies during craning and launching.
Can a yacht from 1967 still be newly insured?
Yes. We insure regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners. In the Premium tariff full hull cover applies with no age limit and settles on the basis of the agreed value with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).

Series by S.O.P.A., build years and cover
Ares is a sailing yacht from S.O.P.A., built from 1967 to 1975.
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 sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts: a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat, and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
