Worth knowing
Vajda Kayaks; cover, cost and conditions
Vajda builds racing and whitewater boats, kayaks and Canadian canoes for competition and slalom in Slovakia, in fibre composite and carbon. The brand is established in European canoe racing, and the boats are found in clubs and national teams. Competition use is accordingly the rule, not the exception.
Races are not included in standard hull insurance. With a slalom or racing Canadian canoe, however, competition is the purpose, and the typical damage occurs there: contact with the gate pole, collision at the boat rack, damage while launching under time pressure. With these boats the inclusion is a prerequisite for a sensible policy, not an add-on.
For clubs the question of use applies: changing athletes are not private use, and that has to be declared, with the number of boats and a list of the individual values. Carbon boats are also sensitive to point loads and delamination; the attribution between an incident and fatigue decides the cover. Report incidents promptly, even if no damage is visible at first.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is competition covered?
Only with express inclusion. With a racing or slalom boat practically all damage occurs in competition.
Why report incidents promptly?
Because with carbon the attribution between an incident and material fatigue decides the cover. Later delamination can only be attributed with a documented incident.
The cover that fits
Für Vajda zeichnen wir keine eigene Bootshaftpflicht, dafür greift in der Regel Ihre Privathaftpflicht. Kasko, Rechtsschutz und Unfallschutz versichern wir wie bei jedem anderen Fahrzeug.

Nautical information What counts before you cast off, papers, equipment, waters
Licence
No licence required; muscle-powered craft are licence-free, federal waterways included.
Registration
No registration required. Some waters do ask for a local permit or sticker before you launch.
Waters
Inland lakes, rivers and the coast, mind nature-reserve rules; many stretches are closed seasonally.
Equipment
Buoyancy aid or lifejacket, buoyancy bags in the boat, spraydeck, a waterproof case for phone and papers, a whistle.
Cruising range
The agreed cruising range is stated in the policy and can be extended for a single trip at any time.
Weather
Offshore wind is the main risk: it carries you away from the bank and makes the return hard. Check wind direction and the gust forecast before you launch.
General guidance, not a complete account; what governs are the rules of the waters you are on and your boat’s manual. Current wind force and direction for your waters are shown on the Home.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repairs are predictable. Still, set the value at replacement cost, including sails, rigging or gear you bought later.
On a kayak accident cover comes first; liability is usually handled by your private policy. Hull cover deals with theft and transit damage.
On a canoe transport and storage are the risk, not the water. Theft from the roof rack is the most common case.
As the series is still in production, parts are available and repair costs are predictable. Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
