Worth knowing
Fletcher Sportsboats; cover, cost and conditions
Fletcher has been building light GRP sports boats in England since the sixties, and that is exactly what shapes the insurance: an Arrow or GTO weighs little but often carries a powerful outboard. The ratio of low weight to high output determines the premium more than the value of the hull does. State the engine output in kW honestly; a more powerful engine fitted later without notification is the most common reason for disputes in the event of a claim.
The second point is the trailer. Fletcher boats are rarely kept permanently in the water, they travel to the cruising area. At NAMMERT the trailer is included in the boat insurance at no extra premium, provided you enter its value in the calculator, and the cover also applies during launching and on the road. Theft from the trailer is the real risk with small sports boats; a coupling lock and a wheel clamp reduce it measurably.
Many Fletchers in the German fleet were built between 1980 and 2000. For these boats an agreed value is worthwhile: the current market value of a thirty-year-old hull is low, while the replacement value of a well-kept example including a new engine is considerably higher. If you bought the engine separately, you should have it listed in the policy with manufacturer, output and serial number, otherwise the hull insurance will only cover the hull in the event of theft.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
For a Fletcher, does the hull or the engine count towards the premium?
Both. The value determines the hull premium, the engine output determines the rating in third-party liability. On light boats with a powerful outboard the output weighs more heavily than the purchase price.
Is my Fletcher insured on the trailer?
Yes. Transport, launching and craning are included, and the trailer itself is covered at no extra premium if its value is stated in the policy.

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 a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
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.
