Dear forumites,
I know this topic has been mentioned several times - and I have tried the search facilily - but I can't seem to find the data. What are the proper halyard lengths for main and jib, please, for a Hanse 400e from 2006? Best regards Peter

I recently replaced my main halyard with 140 ft of 11mm
YachtMaster complete with Selden Key Shackle spliced on, and a messenger eye on
bitter end from Southern ropes. I can provide you a US distributor if you like.

Search 400: "Running rig", and you will get a post, where e.g. the main halyard is set to 41,8 meters. In this post there is some doubt to if the figures are accurate. As always, use your common sense when dealing with information from the internet. (Including information from myhanse.com) I have the abovementioned list, but some of the measures are evidently wrong. The H370 mast is 17,77m, where the H400 is 10% higher, namely 19,52 metes. I have a list with more trustworthy informations for the H370, and if you add 10% to the values, you will have a guiding line to the H400 measures. The 370 main halyard is (original lenght) 40,75 m, and if you add 10%, you will get 44,8 meters, and that is a lenght I have confidence in. Here are the H370 measures: :Kjeld |

In my experience a 42m main and jib halyard length is the bare minimum. 45-48m is helpful. Eg If raising the main solo and you need to feed the sail into the gate it helps a lot if you can run the main halyard back from the cockpit to the mast so you can combine sweating the halyard with taking up slack. Similar story with the jib halyard when changing sails solo.

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies - I ordered 45 m as I have an electric winch, so I don't have to take the halyard to the mast. Best regards Peter

True, but the result is a lot of unnecessary cockpit spaghetti - and cost. There is a simple solution. I keep my halyards to the bare minimum, and when I am solo sailing and need to change jib, I attach some random piece line to the halyard end and bring it forward. Thus i tail up slack as the jib is fed up the forestay profile.
