Good Question!

During my last visit in Greifswald we have seen #26, #51 and #56. This was March 21st. I have been told "maybe end of June". It seems to me that there is no correlation between s/n and order. But I have no clue how the yard orders its production - guess there is a system...

Does anybody knows more?

Hanse have never made there boats in an order that makes sense to the number you receive when ordering.
Through the years many people have asked the same question.
I suspect that the dealers with the best looking staff get priority over dealers with ugly people working for them.
The other option is they run a lottery in the factory and every week they bet on which boat they are going to build next.
Always thought that the Germans were ordered and regimented; however the factory is close to Poland and those guys know how to joke around.
So it could be all one big joke and you will never know when your boat is to be delivered.

What ever happens it will all be good fun and a great blast when you get on the water with a pretty new boat.

I have heard that S/N is assigned when the yard has received the order from the dealers. The production planning process (which defines the delivery date) starts when the yard has received the 1st downpayment from the dealer.
As far as I know the yard does not slot in "white tails" due to the high customization in order to minimize working capital requirements. They only start production planning  with a) and b) with a definite configuration. S ome boats may have been prefinanced by the dealer.
 
In 2013 we had hull no 80and no 56 was two manufacturing bays behind us.

I will have my 455#045 delivered in Greifswald thursday next week, and then sail the boat back to Norway, some 340 nm. The contract was signed October last year with my norwegian dealer.


Hi Nerthuz

Hope you had a safe trip back to Norway?

Maybe you can give some insights on your expieriences made during take over and first miles sailed with your new boat... Guess, some of us are quite curious

My boat will be delivered first week of July

Best Regards

Dear all
 
I'm very interested in any views on the H 455. I currently have a 2007 H 400e (which I've been delighted with) and would like to hear about owner's views on the H 455 - and not least Carlov's and any other former H 400 owners thoughts on the differences between the H 400 and the H 455.
 
Has anyone specified in mast furling? Any opinions on this?
 
And has anyone had any experience of (Hanse's) leather upholstery option?
 
Finally, are there any "must consider" options for the 455?
 
Many thanks

I left Greifswald with my 455 on May 20th, heading for Norway, some 350 nm. We spent 5 days in the boat, before arrival. I am happy with the sailing experience, the boat has FCL sails and furling main. Quite easy to handle. Sailing speed hits 8-9 knops with no problem. With double thrusters harbour manouvers is easy. Max speed with the 75 hp engine was 9,5 knots.
Conclusion: I am happy - and so is my wife 😄

Richard,

We have been sailing our Hanse 455 in Narraganset Bay, RI for the past month. Absolutely love the boat handling. She has great responsiveness at the helm, and really holds her angles nicely in a puff. 

We opted for a stack pack on a fully battened mainsail, self tacking jib, and smaller asymmetrical spinnaker. She does appear to move very true to her "Speed Guide" in terms of knots. 

our upgrade options that I am very happy with.
1) Upgraded the bedding, and it is comfortable. Went with a mid grade fabric if I recall, not leather.
2) Ultra anchor package, we loved our Ultra anchor on our old boat, the upgrade with 100m of stainless chain was easy for us.
3) B&G upgrade has very good electronics package at your fingertips while at the helm. 
4) upgraded engine, 72 hp has great stopping power. 8+ knots at 2000 rpm. 

But the upgrade that we are most in love with:
griddle in the cockpit!

Derek
