Worth knowing
Yu Ching; cover, cost and conditions
Three model ranges are on record: the Formosa 42 and Yu Ching 52 motor yachts as well as the Peterson 44 sailing yacht, all with construction periods between 1975 and 1985. Yachts of this size are craned out at the end of the season and spend the winter ashore, where cover continues to apply.
Winter storage, craning, launching and the transport route are included. There, limited hull cover covers fire, storm, lightning strike, theft of the entire boat and damage in winter storage. There is no time restriction and no night clause in hull cover.
On the motor yachts the engine output feeds into the premium, and on the Peterson 44 the sail area. Added to this are type of boat, value, year of construction and cruising range. Since production ended in 1985, the agreed value secures compensation with no deduction for depreciation.

Series by Yu Ching, build years and cover
Formosa 42 is a motor yacht from Yu Ching, built from 1977 to 1985.
Peterson 44 is a sailing yacht from Yu Ching, built from 1975 to 1985.
Yu Ching 52 is a motor yacht from Yu Ching, built from 1978 to 1985.
For the Formosa 42, Peterson 44 and Yu Ching 52 by Yu Ching 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 Formosa 42, Yu Ching 52 by Yu Ching series:
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.
Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
For the Peterson 44 by Yu Ching 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.
