Worth knowing

Sol; cover, cost and conditions

Four ranges are documented for Sol, the Happycat as an open catamaran and Platino, Brillante and Diamante as cabin catamarans, built between 1984 and 2000. Whether a boat is open or has a cabin is part of the type of boat with us and therefore goes into the rating.

We list multihulls as a type of boat of their own. Alongside it, value, year of construction and cruising range determine the premium, while the name of the yard never does. A Diamante and a Happycat are therefore looked at separately, even though both come from the same range and fall in the same years.

Production lies in the past, yet cover is provided regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners. The agreed value records the value before the claim, indemnity is paid with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"), in the Premium tariff with no age limit. Small series and home builds are insurable as well.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

How do you rate a catamaran?

For Sol: The type of boat is a factor of its own in the premium, alongside value,

year of construction and cruising range.

The scope and tariff levels of third-party liability,

full hull cover and limited hull cover are the same as for a single-hull boat.

Does cover also apply outside the season?

Yes, for Sol too: Winter storage, craning, launching and the road transport are included,

and the boat 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.

Damage in winter storage is already part of limited hull cover.

The cover that fits

For Sol: What matters for catamarans and multihulls is the same across every brand; engine output,

how a claim is settled, cruising range and theft protection.

The class page lists every point and every brand in this class, Sol included.

What this means for the cover

For the Sol Happycat, Sol Platino,

Sol Brillante by Sol and 1 more series 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.

For the Sol Happycat by Sol series: Open catamarans are beached and trailed,

so most damage happens ashore and in transit, not on the water.

For the Sol Platino, Sol Brillante, Sol Diamante by Sol 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.
