Worth knowing
Jay R. Benford; cover, cost and conditions
Jay R. Benford appears in the data set with 30 sailing boats and sailing yachts from 1971 to 2017. The defining families are Sailing Dory, Colin Archer, Catboat and Motorsailer. Lengths range from the 5.2 m Catboat 17 to yachts of over 18 m.
For insuring a Benford this means: many boats have older build years, where hull cover with a fixed agreed value beats pure current value. Small catboats are trailerable, so liability is the base cover and transport is included in the hull policy. Given the range up to 18.3 m, value and cruising area should be stated precisely.
NAMMERT insures Jay R. Benford boats regardless of build year and place of purchase. The online calculator shows the premium in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does NAMMERT insure a Colin Archer 45 from the 1970s?
Yes. The Colin Archer designs are recorded from 1973 onwards. For such build years, hull cover with a fixed agreed value is recommended so the sum is fixed in advance.
Is liability cover enough for a small Benford catboat?
Liability is the base and the key cover for boats like the 5.2 m Catboat 17. Hull cover is worth adding if the boat and trailer should also be protected against own damage.

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.
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.
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.
