Worth knowing
Whitby; cover, cost and conditions
The Whitby 42 was built from 1976 to 1985 and is the only sailing yacht recorded for the brand. Further ranges are not available. Yachts of this kind are frequently sailed over longer distances, which is why proof of the insurance outside home waters counts.
NAMMERT issues the international certificate of insurance automatically in ten languages. It evidences the third-party liability, which, depending on the tariff level, is held with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros. The cruising range itself is agreed at conclusion and enters into the premium.
For a boat from these build years the full hull cover applies with an agreed value and indemnity with no deduction for depreciation, in the Premium tariff without an age limit. With a sailing yacht the sail area takes the place of engine power, and winter storage, craning and transit are included.

Series by Whitby, build years and cover
Whitby 42 is a sailing yacht from Whitby, built from 1976 to 1985.
For the Whitby 42 by Whitby 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 Whitby 42 by Whitby 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.
