Worth knowing
Bowman / Starlight; cover, cost and conditions
British cruising yachts for blue-water voyaging: the Bowman 40 and 48 were built from 1975 to 2005, the Starlight 35 and 39 from 1985 to 2005. These yachts are designed for heavy seas, and their sailing grounds extend correspondingly far. The cruising range is therefore one of the details that determine the premium.
Anyone covering long distances will be asked for proof in foreign harbours. You receive the international certificate of insurance automatically in ten languages.
For yachts between 10 and 15 metres the sail area counts instead of the engine power, together with the value, year of construction and cruising range. For boats whose construction goes back to the seventies, the agreed value secures the sum arranged, in the Premium tariff without an age limit and with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What is the premium for a Starlight 39 based on?
On the type of boat, value, year of construction, sail area and cruising range. The brand does not enter into it. Club races are included from Basis-Plus upwards, and you state races with ranking status when taking out the policy.

Series by Bowman / Starlight, with value and cover
Bowman 40 / 48 is a sailing yacht from Bowman / Starlight (the United Kingdom), built from 1975 to 2005, and today changes hands at between €75,000 and €260,000.
Starlight 35 / 39 is a sailing yacht from Bowman / Starlight (the United Kingdom), built from 1985 to 2005, and today changes hands at between €60,000 and €160,000.
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.
