Seawind Catamarans; cover, cost and conditions

Seawind comes from Australia and builds in Vietnam today, catamarans that are equally intended for coastal waters and for blue water sailing and that stand out through their folding aft bulkhead and their continuous cockpit. For insurance purposes the Australian origin is interesting in so far as these boats are designed for hard conditions and accordingly have robust hulls. That lowers the hull risk, but it changes nothing about the two usual topics: saildrives and cruising range.

Anyone insuring a Seawind in Europe has usually imported it. That raises the question of the valuation anew: purchase price in Australia or Vietnam, transport costs, import VAT and the European CE certification together make up the replacement value, and that is regularly well above the purchase price alone. Take it as a basis in full, otherwise you will be underinsured in the event of a total loss.

The sea transport itself is the point that importers overlook most often. Our policy covers transport by suitable means of transport, but sea transport only on express request. Anyone shipping a boat as deck cargo needs separate cover for it, so ask beforehand, not after unloading in the destination port.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

What value do I state for an import?

For Seawind: The full replacement value in Europe: purchase price, transport,

import duties and certification.

The purchase price alone in the country of origin leads to underinsurance.

Is the sea transport to Europe covered?

For Seawind: Not automatically.

We include sea transport on request, so clarify this before shipping, not afterwards.

What this means for the cover

As the Seawind 1160, Seawind 1600,

Seawind 1370 by Seawind and 3 more series are 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.

For the Seawind 1160, Seawind 1600, Seawind 1370 by Seawind and further series:

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.
