Worth knowing
Y Yachts; cover, cost and conditions
Y Yachts builds sailing yachts between 20 and 30 metres in carbon sandwich in Greifswald, pared-down yachts with the claim of being quiet and fast under sail. They are semi-custom builds with sums insured in the millions, beyond the 2.5 million euros that the calculator covers.
With us carbon is insurable with a surcharge; the reason is the repair, which requires vacuum technology, post-curing and specialist yards. With yachts of this size the underwriting is handled personally: cruising range, crew liability, charter operation, deductible structure and the valuation of the individual fit-out are clarified case by case. Call us, including for a review of an existing contract.

As the Y9 / Y9 Custom, Y6 and Y7 / Y8 by Y Yachts series are still in production,
parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
For the Y9 / Y9 Custom, Y6, Y7 / Y8 by Y Yachts 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.
