Worth knowing
Weyres / Rhine cruisers; cover, cost and conditions
Weyres in Cologne and other Rhineland yards built the Rheinkreuzer from the fifties into the eighties, steel and wooden displacement boats between 8 and 12 metres, built for the Rhine, the Moselle and the West German canals. They are witnesses of West German water sports and today classics with dedicated owners.
On a Rheinkreuzer the type of construction determines how it is insured. A steel hull needs wall thickness measurement and corrosion protection, a wooden hull a valuation survey and the wood surcharge from a sum insured of 20,000 euros upwards. In both cases the agreed value is the instrument: the depreciated market value of a sixty year old boat is close to zero, the replacement value of a well kept example clearly above it.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How do I insure a Rheinkreuzer with a wooden hull?
Through an agreed value on the basis of a survey, with the wood surcharge from a sum insured of 20,000 euros upwards. Ageing of the wood itself is wear; damage caused by an event is covered.

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 motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value. Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
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.
