Dear Kerim,

 

I’m just back from a trip so I didn’t see your post before, as everyone say the boat is very performing and easy to handle specially alone comparing to the competitor, my 540 is my second Hanse I had a 470 before and the transition was very easy still sailing single, for the quality if what you get for your money and is acceptable at the end the most important as everyone say in deferent post is to chose a good/right  dealer since the factory has no legal responsibility your contract is with a dealer so take care of the dealer,  personally I have a good one (Jetty Marine) and  has make the impossible for me

 

Good look

Jörg

Helo,
It will be very helpfull if you can compare 470 to 540 sailing performance. I have been heard that 470 is like sport car comparing to 540 transporter, +50% weight +20% sail area. 540 is a great sailing boat concept with a lot of space, but I doubt that she is true performance cruiser :(

Hi,

 

No doubt the ratios are different has you have mentioned but applicable only in very light wind condition the 470 start quicker and you can feel any wind variation,  the 540 (have long keel 2,80m) has more or less same sensation but need more fine tuning and start to enjoy above 6 knots of wind and for sure perform better than a normal cruiser in same size,  as you say one feel more sportily  the other as plenty space,  at ease in the sea and specially is more comfortable.

To give you an idea  yesterday with 12/13 knots at +/- 55° true wind I was doing 8-8.5knot with the 540, edge to edge with some friends one Grand Soleil 56 (with pour antifouling) and one brand new X46

Hello

Tough choise all of these boats seems to be excellent choises, i completely agree with you in the end of the day evreything has to do with the after sales service , thus have a look and investigate which one is the dealer that can follow up your boat propperly.

Regards
Trimix
