Worth knowing
Woods; cover, cost and conditions
Woods is represented in the database with 22 models, almost all sailing catamarans. They include compact designs such as Janus, Wizard and Strider as well as larger models like Sagitta, Flica, Mira, Meander, Nimbus, Ondina and Cirrus. They were built from 1980 to 2006, with lengths from 4.3 to 18.3 m.
The span from 4.3 to 18.3 m calls for precise details: value and cruising area should be stated exactly for each catamaran. Smaller designs such as Janus and Strider are trailerable, so transport is included in the hull cover, and for older build years an agreed fixed value pays off.
NAMMERT insures Woods catamarans regardless of build year and place of purchase. The premium is available in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure a Woods Strider?
Yes. The Strider is a sailing catamaran of around 7.3 m built between 1980 and 2005 and can be insured with liability and hull cover. The premium is calculated in the online calculator after a few details.
Does NAMMERT also insure older Woods catamarans from the eighties?
Yes, regardless of build year. For catamarans from the early build years from 1980 onwards, hull cover with an agreed fixed value is recommended, so the agreed sum applies without deductions for age.

For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
On catamarans the bridgedeck between the hulls is the sensitive part, and the berth belongs in the application: double width often means a mooring rather than a marina.
For a series of this age 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.
Open catamarans are beached and trailed, so most damage happens ashore and in transit, not on the water.
