Curious if anyone with Hanse 345 has measurements for self tacking headsail. I am measuring tomorrow morning and would like some reference numbers. Thanks in advance! ------------- Tom N S/v Take Five Hanse 345 |

Hi. Bought new sails last year from North Sails. The attached file gives I and J dimensions for a 105% jib. I have a self tacker. A little smaller. I goes from 13.92m to 13.400m and J goes from 3.92m to 3.880m with self tacker. uploads/8287/Hanse_34R_sail_and_deckplan.pdf" rel="nofollow - uploads/8287/Hanse_34R_sail_and_deckplan.pdf
Some more details from North Sails on self tacker. Fit perfectly first time. |

That file is for a 341 not a 345 and I am sure there is a difference. Note difference in LOA. ------------- Martin&Rene Hanse 341 Dipper Wheel steering, 3 cabin layout, normally based in Scotland |

I noted that - although I think it is very close specs wise. Also it reinforces that my measurements are at least in the ballpark. ------------- Tom N S/v Take Five Hanse 345 |

If anyone looks at this thread these were the measurements based on the original Elvstom 95% self-tacking jib and the measurements of the headstay that I submitted to my sailmaker. I will update later if the sail works out well: A. 38.79 feet (head to feeder) B. 42.13 feet (head to tack attachment ring on furler) C. 43.04 feet to deck along headstay (top of furler surface is 42.46 feet) Luff: 42.13 feet Leech: 38.63 feet Foot: 11.13 feet (middle of clew board - 11.5 feet to farthest grommet on clew board) Sorry for it being in feet. ------------- Tom N S/v Take Five Hanse 345 |
