Worth knowing
Bootsbau Franz Köhn; cover, cost and conditions
Bootsbau Franz Köhn is listed with 6 models, mostly open sailing boats. The range included the Catboat 17, 18 and 20, the Flatfish, the Haven 12½ and the Ragnar 26 sailing yacht. Recorded build years run from 2000 to 2008, lengths from 4.9 to 7.9 m.
These boats take up classic American and northern European designs and are built in small numbers, often with plenty of wood and careful workmanship. That is the decisive point for insurance: value comes from the finish, not from a series price. An agreed fixed value with an equipment list or a survey is therefore the right route.
NAMMERT insures Bootsbau Franz Köhn boats regardless of build year. As these boats are trailerable and often stored ashore, transport, time on land and theft belong in the hull cover. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What is a catboat?
A sailing boat with a single large sail on a mast set far forward, without a headsail. For insurance, length, value and cruising area count; the rig should be reflected in the sum insured.
How is a hand built wooden boat valued?
Through an agreed fixed value based on invoices, an equipment list or a survey. The careful workmanship is then part of the sum and does not have to be proved after a loss.

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 boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
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.
