   Great to see this site taking shape: owning a Hanse 300 is so far (4 days now!) proving to be a fine experience - thanks to Peter at Hanse Hamble and Yvonne at YZG. Look forward to chat re the 300 with other owners, particularly UK. New Rose (ours) wil be based in Dartmouth.

	Hi Mark, Congrats on the new 300. I have owned a 301 for a couple of seasons and am now in the process of trading up to a 371 which is due in a few weeks. The 300 is a lovely boat to sail and I am sure you will have a lot of fun. I have had a lot of great adventures in my 301. Wonderful boat. Whereabouts in Dartmouth is New Rose based? Was in Dart earlier this year after a superb trip from Southampton to Brest and back via Plymouth, Salcombe and Dartmouth. Will have to look you up next time I'm in the Dart - this time with the new 371 ... Anything you want to know about the 300 I might be able to help with let me know. Marcus

	Hi Marcus Thanks for your message - will certainly call on you as questions arise - we'll be on Noss-on-Dart river moorings from next March. (Sailing her from S'oton - with a delivery skipper for our first 'big' trip)
	Cheers, Mark Slocombe, New Rose, Noss on Dart

	Hi Mark I also took delivery of a new 300 in April this year and have had a great first season with it in the Poole Bay area. Mainly singlehanded which I have found the 300 particularly suited to. Managed to get in about 600nm and will be sailing through the winter. I have the extras of a genoa and the winches so have been able to test just about every combination of sail/reef in the complete spectrum of winds we seem to have had. Happy to pass on any experiences. Epslion (name of boat)

	Epsilon - winter sailing sounds good, particularly if present 'autumnal' weather holds (though I guess it won't) - we won't be joining you as New Rose is the display boat at Hamble Point, on the hard. For now I am making do with Griff Rhys Jones's book, 'To the Baltic with Bob' - quite entertaining!
	Cheers, Mark Slocombe, New Rose, Noss on Dart

	Hi Mark, I took delivery of my 300 in March 2003 (Cutty Stark) She is moored on the Severn Estury and Cruised/Raced on the Bristol Channel. Having great fun getting to know her. Interested in comparing notes

	Hello. Our boat is the Hanse demo at Hamble Point until April, so we still haven't launched! Have spent a few pleasant afternoons sitting aboard in their yard though..! Look fwd to comparing notes, New Rose will be based in Dartmouth.

	Hi everybody! I own a 292 (the former model of 300) and I sail on the North Adriatic Sea. I really love this boat, it's very strong and very fast for the size, especially now with a new main sail in CL and genoa in kevlar. I sail with my wife and with my little baby (2 years old). If you saw a red 292 in the Adriatic Sea it's probably our Rubin. bye for now. Claudio

	Claudio Just got back from my first trip in New Rose, our 300, from Hamble to Dartmouth - brilliant, S/SE F3-5s... How do you sail with your baby?! Do you strap its chair to the chart table?!
	Cheers, Mark Slocombe, New Rose, Noss on Dart

	Hi you all, We also had for years the 292. We loved it and have raced several matches and did't do too bad!! Ours was with a lead wing keel and sailed verry good. After I changed the standard sails into triradial sails from Quantum the bear was loose?? More speed more comfort and less heel. That was a big diverence... After some years we wanted to have more comfort and standing room and sold ours to the Hanse dealer (price was the same as when we bought here!!) and ordered the 341. In 2003 the delivery took place and we sailed her for 3 months before going ashore for the wintertime. Now the days are longer and within a few weeks she's going into the water again. Let's hope for a nice long summer and some succes on the races... Good luck you all!
