Worth knowing
Polyform; cover, cost and conditions
Two sailing boats are documented, the Nomade and the Vagabond 16, both with years of construction from 1967 and production ending in the 1970s. Anyone buying such a boat should clarify the replacement value before the policy begins, because this value is agreed in full hull cover as the agreed value.
In the event of a claim the agreed value is paid out with no deduction for depreciation (new for old), in the Premium tariff without any age limit. For a dispute following the purchase of a used boat or with a yard, NAMMERT additionally offers legal expenses cover for water sports, which can be combined with third-party liability and hull insurance.
With sailing boats of this kind the sail area instead of the engine output determines the premium, and to this are added the type of boat, value, year of construction and cruising range. Third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros remains the basis in every tariff level.
