Zuiderzee; cover, cost and conditions
Zuiderzee is listed with seven models between 7.8 and 12.6 metres, six sailing yachts and one motor yacht. The sailing yachts include the Fisherman, Duchesse and Titan lines, joined by the Zuiderzee Expresse 36 as a motor yacht. The build period runs from 1965 to 1993.
All Zuiderzee yachts are now several decades old. For such boats, hull cover with an agreed fixed value is worthwhile: the agreed value applies after a claim, without deductions for age. Refits, new sails or a replaced engine should be reflected in the stated value.

For the Zuiderzee Expresse 36, Fisherman II,
Fisherman III by Zuiderzee and 4 more 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 Zuiderzee Expresse 36 by Zuiderzee 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 Fisherman II, Fisherman III, Duchesse by Zuiderzee and further 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.
