Hello everybody,
Anyone would know about the factorry mounted genoa sheet tracks on a Hanse 400e? For which genoa size are they designed? All the best |

Mine came with a 140% genoa as well as the 95% self-tacker. However, I got rid of the genoa as too heavy for lighter winds and truly horrible when reefed. I've found the self-tacker very useful and quick going into the wind or in stronger winds, meaning that I never reef it; its either 'up or down' as reefing the main is simple, quick and effective. For winds up to about 16kts AWS (if I'm feeling brave and the wife is not paying attention) I use a G0 rigged from the bowsprit on a furler which makes the boat seem to fly. Its useful from about 50-140 degrees. The weight and space saving was considerable and I don't miss the genoa at all.

The outer tracks fit a 120ish-155. The inner tracks fit less than that, so 105-112ish. And of course there's the 95% self-tacker. I would think you'd talk to a sailmaker who would recommend the right size for what you're trying to accomplish.
