look to the bow: welding is still there but toggle dissepared, toggle (tackline genaker) is bended. this happend in light weather conditions :wind 12 knots en AWA 90°. I asked Hanse for a solution /suggestion to make it stronger I send a letter to Hanse : answer "you're warranty is expired 3 months" This is not the answer you would aspect from a yacht builder!! |

Like you I have a rigging screw to brace the gennaker tack connection at the forward end of the anchor fitting. Mine is holding together ok but the loop on the anchor fitting is just as bent as yours.
I have an asymmetric of approx. 90m2. I got caught in some gusts earlier this year which broke the snap shackle on the sheet so I know the loads were high. I do feel that this needs a more substantial design. Hanse response is disappointing. What does your dealer say? |

Hi, we replaced the lower chain plate bolt with one with an eye on it rather than rely on a welded solution, seems to work well with both 130 sq m gennaker and 105 sq m code 0.

How do you tighten your waterstay which looks like dyneema?

Hi Iemand, I realised when I posted the picture that it doesn't really show the full situation as you cannot see the top of the bob stay because of where i took it from (port side in marina). But yes it is dyneema through the eye bolt back up to a large shackle under the front of the bow step several times. As there is no load on this until the gennaker or code 0 is used it just needs to be tight enough to hold everything nicely in place until the load comes on.
All the best Paul

Sorry didn't really explain it very well! The shackle slides over the Hanse welded tack attachment, the dyneema goes through the bottom of the shackle and the furler uses its own snap shackle to fix to the shackle. So the original tack attachment just holds it all in place but takes no vertical load. Next time I am at the boat I will take a photo from starboard side.

Hi Reading this thread , is the eye bolt tapped into the bow , thus it was a simple matter to unscrew the hanse countersunk head bolt and then replace with the eye bolt in your photo thanks

Hi, yes the standard bolted is tapped into the metal backing plate, so it is simple to take out
All the best Paul

I've taken a slightly different dyneema approach, shackling on a block to the anchor fitting and then a soft shackle from the dyneema to the snap shackle on the furler. Like Night Train the original and slightly bent fitting now just holds the dyneema when it is not under tension.
