Worth knowing
Boudignion; cover, cost and conditions
Boudignion is listed with 14 models, 7 open sailing boats, 6 sailing yachts and one motorboat. The range included the Pescadou 530 and 600, the Sormiou, the Extra Paulette, the Capestan, the Langoe and the sailing yachts Calao, Cap Nord, Cap-Breton, Flamant and Lofoten. Build years run from 1967 to 1983, lengths from 4.6 to 13.7 m.
These boats are forty years old or more today. At that age condition is the only dependable basis for value: a fully restored ship with a new rig is worth far more than the table figure, a neglected one far less. An agreed fixed value based on a survey settles that in advance and prevents disputes after a loss.
NAMMERT insures Boudignion boats regardless of build year and of where they were bought. On yachts of this age a rig inspection is worthwhile, because material fatigue counts as wear and is not covered. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Can a sailing yacht from 1975 still be insured?
Yes. Build year alone excludes nothing. What matters is condition, value and cruising area. For ships of that age we recommend a survey so that the sum insured rests on a dependable basis.
What about the old rig?
A failure through material fatigue counts as wear and is not covered, whereas a failure caused by an event is. A rig inspection before the season is therefore more than a formality on old yachts.

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 boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
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.
