Worth knowing

Sommerfeld; cover, cost and conditions

Ten ranges of sailing boats and sailing yachts are recorded, among them Orion, Flying Flipper, Glacer 34, Vineta II, Ghoster, Omega, Odin and the Nissen 52, with years of construction from 1965 to 2002. Boats from that period stand ashore in winter, and cover continues to apply there.

Damage in winter storage is part of the scope of limited hull cover, as are fire, storm, lightning strike and the theft of the whole boat. Cover also exists during craning, during launching and on the road, and a 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.

Production lies in the past, and these boats are insured today as used boats on an agreed value, with no deduction for depreciation and, in the Premium tariff, with no age limit. With sailing boats the sail area counts for the premium instead of the engine power.

What this means for the cover

For the Nissen 52 by Sommerfeld series 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.

For the Flying Flipper, Glacer 34,

Vineta II by Sommerfeld and 6 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 Nissen 52, Glacer 34, Vineta II by Sommerfeld and further series:

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.

For the Flying Flipper, Omega by Sommerfeld series:

On boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides.

A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
