Worth knowing
Dekker; cover, cost and conditions
Dekker is listed with twelve models between 6.7 and 11.5 m, ten of them sailing yachts and two sailing boats. The core is the Defender series in sizes 15, 18, 27, 32, 33 and 35. Alongside it stand Marken I, Marken II, Marken 34 and Marken 37 as well as the Drifter 25 and the Dezo-Toer. Production ran from 1961 to 1989.
Every build year lies decades back. For boats like these an agreed value makes more sense than a market value clause, because otherwise hull, rig and equipment are only assessed after the damage. With a fleet spanning just under seven to over eleven metres, value and cruising area need to be stated clearly: a Drifter 25 on home water is rated differently from a Defender 35 offshore.
NAMMERT insures Dekker regardless of build year and place of purchase, including after a change of owner or a purchase abroad. Conversions and retrofitted equipment can be reflected in the stated value. You can work out the premium in the online calculator in five minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Which valuation basis suits a Defender 32 from 1975?
For a boat of this age an agreed value is the clearer solution. The figure is fixed before cover starts and applies after a loss without a deduction for age.
Does it matter that Dekker no longer builds?
No. Cover attaches to the boat, not to the yard. Rare spare parts can extend a repair, which is worth bearing in mind when stating the value.

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.
On boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
