Worth knowing
Polarstern; cover, cost and conditions
One sailing boat is recorded, the Mikro 18, built from 1989 to 1998. No further model ranges are available. On a sailing boat the sail area takes the place of engine output for the premium calculation, supplemented by the type of boat, value, year of build and cruising range.
The name of the yard never enters into the calculation. Club races are included from the Basis-Plus tariff upwards, and you declare races with ranking status when you take out the policy so that they are expressly taken into account in the contract. The basis remains third-party liability with a limit of indemnity of 10 to 50 million euros.
A boat of this size is often trailered. The boat trailer is included in the boat insurance at no extra premium, and the cover applies during craning, during launching, while in transit and in winter storage. There limited hull cover covers fire, storm, lightning strike and theft of the entire boat.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How is a sailing boat without an engine rated?
Via the sail area instead of the engine output. Added to this are the type of boat, value, year of build and cruising range. The brand name remains irrelevant to the premium.
Is transport to the water covered?
Yes. The cover applies while in transit, during craning, during launching and in winter storage. The boat trailer is included in the boat insurance at no extra premium.

Series by Polarstern, build years and cover
Mikro 18 is a sailing boat from Polarstern, built from 1989 to 1998.
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 boats this size the condition of rig and fittings decides. A dismasting is covered, worn terminals after years are not.
