Worth knowing
Swanwick; cover, cost and conditions
For Swanwick two sailing yacht ranges are available, the Meridian 31 with years of build from 1975 to 1984 and the Meridian 9,5 MS from 1972 to 1980. Production lies far in the past. For yachts from that time the first question is how the value is recorded in the contract and what applies in a claim.
The answer is the agreed value. It is arranged when the policy is taken out and in a claim is paid out with no deduction for depreciation (new for old). In the Premium tariff the full hull cover applies with no age limit, so that even a yacht from the nineteen seventies is not restricted to the limited hull cover, but can be fully covered.
We insure regardless of the year of build, the place of purchase and previous owners. Club races are included from Basis-Plus, and the third-party liability cover with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros remains the basis in every level. A trailer runs along in the third-party liability at no extra premium from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value, in winter storage the cover continues. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium.
