This is our Hanse 370e in Skagen on our way home to Norway after delivery in Greifswald last easter. I have had a lot of positive comments on the light grey colour.  ------------- Förstefender |

very nice boat, adam! thank you for the pictures - we now decided for the light grey with the dark grey waterline. I hope you don't mind there's gonna be a second boat like yours ;-)

It's not mine, I just took a picture of it. Mine will be "trabbi blue" and will be delivered in the summer next year.

Here is a photo of Grey Goose, our 400e, in just the colour scheme you are ordering. I reckon they all look great but specially in this colour scheme...

Great photo of Grey Goose, Jof!
I notice you have the Hanse wave painted at the bow. How did you manage that? ------------- Steinar Hanse 370e #348 Oslo, Norway |

Thanks, Johan - I should have credited the photo to the guys doing an advertising shoot for Hyde sails. They wanted some shots for magazine adverts (see their recent ads in Yachting World, Yachting Monthly etc. - the bow is Grey Goose!). The genoa shown is not mine. I have replaced the original North sails (both main and self-tacking jib) with cruising laminate (Dimension Polyant) tri-radial sails from Hyde and am very pleased with them indeed. The jib has three short vertical battens to help support the leech.
Steinar, the Hanse logo is stuck on. GG was exhibited at the London boat show in January 2006 and I asked them to leave it on as I think it looks good and makes her more distinctive. I expect your local dealer could arrange it. I know that Hanse UK have applied the wave to some other boats they have sold since. ------------- Jof 400e #31 - Grey Goose |

Likewise, light grey with Dark grey water line looks fantastic, but I'm biased!!
These are from the last channel race before the fastnet, we never finished this race as we lost a jib halyard shackle in F7 mid channel, so once we had it back on board we headed home to rest knowing we had already qualified. (by the way don;t fret halyard shackles not a problem, the riggers that had the foil of earlier that week didn;t mouse it!)

These photos are fantastic too! Another boat with the Hanse "wave", I presume.

Yeah she was on display at the London show in Jan. And like Grey Goose and a few others based in the hamble i elected to leave them on too! ------------- GHOST - Hanse 470e - 058 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/ghost/ |

Ghost is a very good looking boat, I like the way you put the name on the stern, looks fantastic. In Ghost, you can really see the super yacht inspired design come to its right. I believe you probably have one of the best looking Hanses out there (until I get my 430 anyway :p )

My 430 will be delivered in February for the Istanbul Boat show and I keep myself busy with these awesome pictures which makes me very excited. You all have beauties. Thank you all.
She will be the first 430 on East Med. in Turkey. She is coming in white colour with some toys on her.
I have three options for the name which will approved by the harbour authority. Other suggestions from your side will be appreciated.
My options to name her are: 1. SU (means water in Turkish) 2. Celine (name of my niece) 3. Silence (my son suggested to me as an option.)
Thanks

Skopea, I liked "Silence". By the way, are you Turkish or will you just be keeping the boat there?

I am Turkish and will be keeping her in south mostly where Skopea (ancient name for Gocek) is at
36 45'01.36"N
28 56'11.52"E
Check it out from google earth, looks very nice. Also all Aegean shore offers many opportunities for sailing and cruising.
Sweden also have fantastic places to sail as far as I see from your pictures.

It's the wrong time of year to make me praise the beauty of my country. At this time it's dark and cold. It makes me wish I lived in Turkey instead, especially after having studied the area in Google Earth.
However, I agree that it's a great place in the summer. Johan Hackman 1 December 2007 PS. You can travel across Sweden through Göta Kanal.  ------------- http://www.johanhackman.se" rel="nofollow - http://www.johanhackman.se |

Did somebody mention "light grey" hulls? This is Arwen on the september boat show.   Boudewijn ------------- Arwen, Hanse 370, #401, former owner of Mirage, Hanse 291. "Real men don't use bowthrusters!" |

And this has nothing to do with grey hulls, but just to show off: Arwen in octobre. Where would this forum be without pictures. Boudewijn ------------- Arwen, Hanse 370, #401, former owner of Mirage, Hanse 291. "Real men don't use bowthrusters!" |

The number is in your profile not on the post itself and is the total number of post you have made. Even you very first post will have "51" (or more) on it now.

After half a year of waiting we took over our 400e last weekend!
There were some minor problems - hopefully to be fixed within the next two weeks. One of these I was really amazed of: I wanted to take a look at the batteries and forgot to open the latches - the seats in the navigation area are only fixed with five 5mm screws - accidentally I pulled all of them out with one hand. I wonder what happens if you fall against this seat in heavy seas.
