No. As iemand mentions, you need to install tracks on the coach roof. The aluminum backing plate is already built in. You just need to locate it, drill and tap holes and your in business. You can find the backing plate location drawing in this thread http://www.myhanse.com/deck-alureinforcements-on-hanse-400_topic1882.html (the 370 is a bit further down in the thread). I original tried using the side tracks but had to install inner haulers and all sorts of other crap to try to get the sheeting angle right. In the end we still couldn't point at all. Once the tracks were installed on the coach roof life got a lot easier. Steve

Hi Steve,
I have downloaded the drawing of the aluminium plates location for the 405 (model 400 after 2009 I believe) and my Hanse 2010 doesn't have alu plates on the roof. As another matter, since you race, my Seldén mast doesn't have a spinnaker pole halyard or ring attachment on the mast. How are you equipped for downwind? Bruno

Hi Bruno Unfortunately, you're out of luck. Hanse stopped embedding the plates for the coach roof tracks around 2009. It is much more difficult these days to buy a Hanse and configure it for racing. As for the spinnaker stuff: - we use the self tacker jib sheet as the topping lift for the spinnaker pole since we do not use the self tacker while racing - I put my own track on the front of the mast for the spinnaker attachment (drill and tap holes appropriately) - for the pole attachement, use a car with bearings the loads are too high to use one that does not have bearings in it. Take a look at the first drawing on Harken's web page http://www.harken.com/content.aspx?id=3912 - for the downhaul, I have a pad eye on the foredeck and a couple of blocks down the starboard side for the line to be adjusted from the cockpit Hope that helps Steve

Why not treat Gertha to a real present and get a self tacking jib which allows for more roach with 4 vertical battons. I have done this with a North 3DL and and witnessed better performance and still self tacking !

I'm ordering a new st-jib and a new main. The offers I've got vary a lot on the jib size (and on price). Idea is to have the jib radial cut from cruising laminate with battons. Are you really happy with your st-jib and if so what size is it? :D
