Hi,

The Hanse 430e is tested and showed in the latest number of two dansih boat magazines (Baadmagasinet and Baadnyt).

The reporters are impressed by her tacking 60-64 dgr. true wind. They like the cockpit layout. The lack of a traveller for the mainsail is a minus (but that's alway a minus even when it's placed on the roof acc. to test sailors) and as all other Hanses the 430 is underpowered in light winds with the selftacker. A gennaker would do the trick. The size of the mainsail calls for an electrical winch, they say.

4 pcs of the 430e has allready been ordered by danish sailors.
