New owner and keen to connect

I bought Wild Cherry last September and she has lived up to all the research and reviews!!great delivery sail from Weymouth back to her new home on the Exe.  She exceeded all expectations (which were quite high from knowing the design and reviews)

Very keen to get in touch with other owners as well! I had a full survey and also I am a Naval Architect and marine professional by trade so happy to try to help out with queries etc as well!!

She is wing keel version and has stainless beaching legs which I think were post new build extras ?? But look well designed if others want info?

Congratulations

I have owned my Hanse 301 since 2007 I bought her second hand and she was born 2000.. I bought her in Gosport and moved her to the Isle of Man and to Scotland.. 

she is a cracking boat..

I am looking at moving her down to the South Coast, hopefully during this season

Plymouth is probably the choice but not 100%

Perry.. so hopefully might be able to meet up

I’ve owned Karisma, a 2001 301 since 2011. Always happy to engage and learn from others experiences of the boat. When properly set up a 301 will not be out sailed by a boat of equivalent length unless it is a racing design… they live up to their potential, especially upwind. A fantastic fast cruiser but because of this best performance comes from being able to drive the boat through the reefing gears. Early upgrades i’d suggest are cruise lam sails, better winches and the tidesmarine mast track to get the best from the boat.
