Worth knowing
Stauff / sloep builders; cover, cost and conditions
The sloep is the Dutch canal tender, an open displacement boat with classic lines, electric or small diesel propulsion, built for quiet cruising on canals and inland waters. These boats are durable, hold their value and are sailed for decades; insuring them is less about damage under way than about preserving value and the risks of the berth.
On a sloep with electric propulsion, the battery bank is the technically relevant item. Professional installation and charging as specified are the conditions under which fire and thermal runaway are covered. On boats with a retrofitted battery bank, which is common in the sloep segment, keep the invoice from the installing company; it is the proof that counts in the event of a claim.
Value retention is the argument for an agreed value with these boats. A well-kept sloep loses hardly any value, because the market is narrow and the design classic. Without an agreed value, however, a current value reduced according to age would be paid in the event of a claim. With an agreed value the real market value is stated in the contract, and with a twenty year old boat that is the decisive difference.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Why an agreed value on an old boat?
Because sloeps hold their value. Without an agreed value the amount is reduced according to age; with an agreed value the real market value is stated in the contract.
What applies to a retrofitted electric drive?
Professional installation and charging as specified. Keep the invoice from the installing company and report the conversion, otherwise it counts as an increase in risk.

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.
On an electric boat the battery is the largest single item. It belongs in the sum insured, otherwise the most expensive part is missing in a total loss.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
