New Hanse 631

On the website i saw there will be a Hanse 631 in 2006!!!

Anyone seen pictures or more info?

I hope I will win the lottery next month....

Yes i think we are going to the wet Hiswa, I believe we will recieve an invitation of Hanse.

I saw that the 341 by Hetterschijt is sold under conditions.... to bad, I was waiting till winter to do an offer.....

I received information today about the Hanse 315, the price has become a bit cheaper, from EUR 56.850 ex VAT in Germany

About a year ago a dealer showed me a very interesting serie of preliminary drawings, blueprints and possible layouts of what was then still known as the Hanse 621.

The most prominent features were to me the retention of the modular interior concept developed for the Hanse 531 with the addition of one further section and a huge variety of options for the sections ahead f the mast, there including one featuring - listen to this one - a garage for a Smart compact car!!!

I am very courious to find out if that one was only an amusement of the designed who prepared those layouts or if this very bold and daring option will be retained in the 631 once it will hit the market!

Remember guys that the original boatyard was dedicated to one-off's in advanced composites. So the team has been building in carbon, kevlar, e-glass, divinycell and you name it for several decades. They made plenty of the famous "1-ton" boats that went to the Admirals cup in the 80's. That's a track record that few other builders can claim!!

Winning the lottery ... I think they will first have to increase the prize money ... at least for those playing in Norway....

Go to Hanse's Web site and select DEALER then go to the Royal Sailing (Hanse Dealer in Croatia) web site. You will see live pictures of the 630 (and more). Not sure but it looks like this dealer may actually be Hanse itself (or M Schmidt).
