Worth knowing
Solent Boats Works; cover, cost and conditions
One range is listed as a cabin trimaran, the Flying Mantis, in production since 2017. No further models or size details are available. Multihulls and narrow ranges raise the question of whether cover can be found for them: small series and home-built boats can be insured with us.
What matters is the type of boat, value, year of construction, sail area and cruising range, not the number of units built and not the brand. The third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros forms the basis of the policy, supplemented by limited hull cover or full hull cover in the levels Basis, Basis-Plus and Premium.
In full hull cover an agreed value is set and compensation is paid with no deduction for depreciation ("new for old"). Include equipment and electronics in the list so that the value set is complete. Club races are included from the Basis-Plus tariff onwards.
