Worth knowing
RS Sailing; cover, cost and conditions
RS Sailing (the United Kingdom) belongs to the dinghies and small craft class. For the insurance the builder is never a reason to decline: what decides is the type of boat, its year, its value, its engine output and the waters you sail, the five figures you enter in the online calculator.
Which cover suits a RS Sailing? Liability is the foundation and settles injury, property and financial damage to third parties with €10 m to €50 m. Hull cover protects your own boat: partial cover for fire, storm, lightning, theft of the whole boat and damage in winter storage; full cover adds collision, grounding, vandalism and theft of parts, the outboard included.
What does insurance for a RS Sailing cost? The premium starts from €39 a year for liability and follows value, year built, engine output or sail area, and cruising range. Full cover settles at the agreed value, with no deduction for new-for-old.
Bought used, imported, or ordered straight from the yard: we write RS Sailing with a berth in Germany and abroad alike. The international certificate of insurance reaches you automatically in ten languages, and taking cover out before the handover pays off; the launch and the road transport are then already covered.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure boats built by RS Sailing?
Yes. The builder does not decide insurability here; type, value, year, output and cruising range do. We also write small series and home-built boats.
What does cover for a RS Sailing cost?
Cover starts from €39 a year for liability; the exact premium takes a few minutes in the online calculator.
How high should the liability sum be?
We write €10 m to €50 m. The higher sum costs little more and covers the one case that has no natural ceiling: injury to a person.
On a total loss, do I get the replacement value?
Under full cover, yes; at the agreed value, and in the Premium tariff without limit and with no deduction for new-for-old.
Can I switch from my existing insurer?
Yes. Our switching service cancels the old contract free of charge and you keep a permanent switching discount. You pay only once the old contract has run out.

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.
Dinghies are mostly trailed and stored ashore, and that is where most damage happens: rigging, strapping down and winter storage.
As the series is 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.
On boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
