Hi every one

Hello to all

Have just found this site so have decided to sign up

We live in the UK and sail a HANSE 331, unfortunately there do not seem to be many 331's around as the 341 came out I think the year after we bought SILVER HANSE back in 2000.

She is a lovely boat and an absolute dream to sail, she has behaved impeccably through a range of weathers up to a top end of an 7!! NOT NICE....

Would love to hear from other owners.

Hi  there Ralf

Good to hear from you

We sail in the Solent and across the English Channel - we would like to go further afield but due to work commitments unable to take more than 2 weeks leave at a time and only have 4 weeks in any one year.

Our boat is moored just inside Porsmouth harbour.

I did take a look at the HANSE rally photo's - so many boats.

We do not seem to have quite so many HANSE boats in the UK at the moment but their popularity is increasing.

The perfomance of these fine boats is second to none.

When we were in Cherbourg in July we had a HANSE 371 moored next to us.

Kind regards

Sue.

Hi Alan And Maggie

Good to hear from you.

When we took delivery of SILVER HANSE there was a 301 next to us and she was from Chichester.

It would be nice to see more HANSE boats in the Solent area as I am sure wyou would agree.

Hopefully with the boat show coming up Peter and his crew will sell a few more.

Well we have bank Holiday next weekend and we are off on a rally to Bembridge.

May see you on the water.

Happy sailing

Sue  

Hi Tony,

the Hanse 331 one is a complete different boat with an old style from the '80. The 341 and now the 342 even more are modern styled boats!

Which model ist 315?? Is that a UK Version of the 311?

Regards Thomas.

Hi Guys,

Yes Thomas, the 315 is a version that was only sold in the UK. It is basically a 311 but with a slighly different interior. Although I think the boat with this interior was sold as 311 elsewhere.

Interestingly enough all my paperwork regarding the purchase of the boat states that it is a 315 yet on the hull and the sail it says 311!!!!!

(If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, maybe it's a duck!!!!)

I must keep my eyes open for the 331, Sue, she sounds like a more traditional design if the heads are forward. Do you have the usual self tacking gear etc?

Anyway, have to dash off to work now. Missing sailing this weekend cos I'm working in Blackpool. (Deep deep joy!!)

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention my better halfs name in the first post. Joanna is my favourite galley slave and she's good around the rest of the boat as well.

See you soon.

Tony & Jo
