Worth knowing
Sparkman & Stephens; cover, cost and conditions
As a design office of the classic era, this name stands above designs from 9 to 14 metres from the years 1935 to 1990 and above the Swan 36 to 48 from 1965 to 1985. Many classics sail to an S&S design under the name of another yard, and for the contract it is the boat that counts anyway, not the name.
When design and building yard do not coincide, it helps that we insure regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners and that we also accept small series and self-builds. The premium is based on the type of boat, value, year of construction, sail area and cruising range.
With yachts that have been sailing for decades, the agreed value is at the centre of the contract. It fixes the agreed figure, indemnity is paid with no deduction for depreciation, in the Premium tariff without an age limit. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What applies if the boat was built to the design of another office?
For the insurance the type of boat, value, year of construction, sail area and cruising range count. Who drew the design and who built it has no effect on the premium.
Are races with a classic covered?
Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards. Races with scoring status you state when concluding, so that they are expressly stated in the contract.
The cover that fits

Series by Sparkman & Stephens, with value and cover
S&S Riss 9 to 14 m is a sailing yacht from Sparkman & Stephens (the USA), built from 1935 to 1990, and today changes hands at between €45,000 and €290,000.
S&S Swan 36 to 48 is a sailing yacht from Sparkman & Stephens (the USA), built from 1965 to 1985, and today changes hands at between €90,000 and €390,000.
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.
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.
