Response to Pzucchel:
=====
My new dinghy & outboard have just been delivered to the marina. If you can bear to wait a few weeks for when I get there, I can provide my feedback on them. For the dinghy, I went with True Kit Navigator 3.0m. A few aspects of this may not appeal to everyone: (a) it is not a rigid hull, (b) high-grade PVC instead of hypalon, and (c) it might still require a little deflation to fit whereas I think the 2.5m could be fully inflated. However, when fully deflated, it folds down to a tidy bundle so much of the garage is available. It is about 100 lbs. This probably depends on preference and intended use, but I'll let you know fit. For the outboard, I went electric with ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus, available at a variety of dealers. I sought dealer guidance on extra short vs. short shaft, since the transom height was right on the crossover. Extra short will allow for very shallow areas; short will allow a little more "rudder-like feel" they said. I went with short since I wasn't going to have a V-bottom. They're not inexpensive, but I'll no longer have to have gasoline on board.

It is the towing ring that makes contact with the end of the garage, but we need to get the dinghy a further 20cm into the hull, so removing the ring would not be enough. I think that the only solution will be to modify the fibreglass. Perhaps the 588 garage is a little shorter than the 575.

With regards to inflating the tubes I use a cheap hand held stand up paddle board 12v Li pump with a capacity of 15 psi there for it is able to pump a tube to 1 psi in about 20 seconds and the battery lasts forever before recharging .My dinghy is a Highfield cl 290
and bow tube must be deflated and side tubes 50%.18 hp 2t stored on the stern rail

I actually sprang for the pump when I built the boat. It was only a few hundred dollars and (considering the rest of the HANSE options pricing) was probably the only good deal on options. |

What did you end up going with? Hoping to find out if the zerojet OCT 300 will fit in the 575. 🧐

still cogitating...very interesting device , the OC300!
I won't go again to jet : I don't need high speed , I don't need a heavy boat. this prevents beaching...but the concept is very interesting , it may fit marginally...are they already on sale or they are prototypes? their construction must be expensive ...

360lbs for the 300 isn't too bad IMO. They are in production. ~$45k or so with shipping.

similar to the williams . please don't take me wrong "electric boat dude" that joined this week on a hanse sailboat forum...I may be wrong and you were very discreet, but I've run a business too!
it's a nice toy. like the williams. but it's not the solution I am looking for because:
1- too heavy, I can't lift it out myself on a beach. 2- 10x more expensive than other solutions , if you want to leave it alone on a Caribbean beach while you do other things you know what it means ...kids jumping on it in the best scenario! 3- you can't probably beach the turbine , like in the williams 4- maintenance. you probably have to take it out of the water with a crane , each year, for maintenance of the part sitting in the seawater...unless the turbine is magic. 5- fitting inside the Hanse 588 garage is not proven. how can I take a 45k risk and discover it doesn't enter ? the garage has a complex 3d shape designed on the williams shape...you may/should ask the 3d drawings to hanse under NDA and verify , but as a private individual hanse won't talk to me. And the typical distributor has no incentive in doing it ... 6- the garage rolls on the hull. this is a critical point , I've delaminated the hull multiple times in my trips. a hull that's only few mm thick to save weight is very fragile when its weight sits on few square mm2...a wave hitting you when you enter, and it's a potential damage. aluminum is better , and the lighter the better. 7- the website says available in September 2025. I need a well proven standard solution that other early adopters have fixed for me, I plan sailing on remote areas with no high tech support... good luck, I like innovative people with great ideas! I am simply not the right market segment , I just had the williams because it came with my second hand boat... Edited by Pzucchel - 15 August 2025 at 07:33 |
