Worth knowing
Doerak; cover, cost and conditions
Doerak built small steel displacement boats between 7 and 9 metres in the Netherlands from the sixties into the nineties, compact cabin boats that are among the most widespread boats of all on Dutch and German inland waters. A Doerak today is a classic with steady demand and good resale values.
On a fifty-year-old steel boat the wall thickness is the decisive question. A hull that has been measured and maintained regularly will last for further decades; one whose corrosion protection has been neglected rusts through from the inside. Corrosion is wear and tear and is not covered, which is why the measurement is not only technical information but information relevant to insurance. It is the basis for an agreed value.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Can I still take out hull insurance on a fifty-year-old Doerak?
Yes. What matters is a documented wall thickness and an agreed value, because the current value of a fifty-year-old boat does not reflect the cost of repairs.

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.
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.
