Worth knowing
Swift / Hudson Boat Works; cover, cost and conditions
Swift and Hudson build racing rowing boats in Canada that are used internationally by universities and leading clubs, carbon hulls from the single to the eight, technically on a par with the top European manufacturers. For European clubs these are imports, and that puts the question of value ahead of the question of cover.
The replacement value of an imported boat is made up of the purchase price, sea freight, import duties and customs, and for an eight that can be a considerable addition to the list price. Use this complete value; in the event of a total loss the hull insurance replaces the agreed amount, and buying a replacement from Canada costs the same as the original purchase.
For transport to Europe the rule is: sea transports are not automatically included in our policy, but only on request. Clarify this before shipping. Once the boat is in Europe, road transports by suitable means, storage in the boathouse and operation on the water are covered, including the collisions that occur on busy regatta courses.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What value should I use for an import?
The purchase price plus sea freight, import duties and customs. Buying a replacement from Canada costs the same as the original purchase, so the list price alone is not enough.
Is sea transport covered?
Not automatically, only on request. Clarify this before shipping, because transport damage cannot be included afterwards.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
No licence required; muscle-powered craft are licence-free, federal waterways included.
Registration
No registration required. Some waters do ask for a local permit or sticker before you launch.
Waters
Inland lakes, rivers and the coast, mind nature-reserve rules; many stretches are closed seasonally.
Equipment
Buoyancy aid or lifejacket, buoyancy bags in the boat, spraydeck, a waterproof case for phone and papers, a whistle.
Cruising range
The agreed cruising range is stated in the policy and can be extended for a single trip at any time.
Weather
Offshore wind is the main risk: it carries you away from the bank and makes the return hard. Check wind direction and the gust forecast before you launch.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repairs are predictable. Still, set the value at replacement cost, including sails, rigging or gear you bought later.
On a rowing boat hull and riggers are delicate; most damage happens launching and recovering.
