Berth, season and winter storage
The boat comes ashore for the winter. Frost is the most expensive damage of the year here: a cooling circuit left full cracks the engine block. Insurers treat that as a breach of a duty of care rather than as an accident, whoever the insurer is. Read what your own conditions require of you before the boat is lifted out. At the pontoon what counts is what the conditions call a duty of care: lines of adequate strength, chafe protection, a working bilge pump and a boat that is not left unchecked for months. The nearest berth, Port de la Gryère, is less than a kilometre away. That close together you share the tight water when manoeuvring, and the most common damage is the damage another boat causes.
How exposed the berth lies
Each spoke shows how far the water is open in that direction, up to sixty kilometres. The highlighted spoke is the direction the sea runs in furthest from. Calculated from the coastline, not measured.
The nearest slipway is 3.0 kilometres to the west. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data. 60 slipways are recorded within thirty kilometres.
The nearest berths: Port de la Gryère, 0.5 kilometres to the east, Plage Pont Rouge, 1.7 kilometres to the east and Port Martin, 1.7 kilometres to the west. 21 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
France does not require liability cover for pleasure craft in general. It is still asked for in three places, and they catch almost everyone: the harbour berth contract, any regatta or event, and commercial use including chartering. Storm is the smaller risk here. What causes damage is the manoeuvre in a tight basin and the neighbour who is not paying attention: hull scrapes while berthing, marks along the quay wall, a damaged rudder blade. By the coastline the berth is exposed to the west: some 28 kilometres of open water run towards it from there. It is also open to the east. That is the direction the sea comes from in a gale.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Port Lugrin-Tourronde?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Belgien & Frankreich (Kanäle). The cruising range is the boundary within which a policy applies. Check the wording before you go beyond it: many policies name a narrower area than owners assume, and an extension has to be agreed before the passage, not after the claim.
Is my boat insured in winter storage?
Hull cover normally applies ashore as well, including storm damage on the cradle and theft from the yard, but two things decide the case. A policy written for a season usually pauses over the winter months and then carries nothing at all, and frost damage to a cooling circuit that was not drained counts as a breach of a duty of care rather than as an accident.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
Not required in general, but a condition of the berth contract, of regattas and of commercial use. The paper that belongs on board is the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft: it states the cover in a form that is understood across the bordering states.
