| I am interested in purchasing a 350, but there isn't one nearby so I am going off the pictures and data on the limited Hanse website. What's the deal with the cabin-mounted traveler? Is it really a traveler or just the mainsheet running through blocks spread apart? I want a cockpit table, but I really need a traveler that works in order to flatten out the boat. |

Pete, the standard option on the roof isn't a traveler as you want it. However a cockpit traveler is an option. In the NL it's about 1600 Euros to have it installed, as we will on ours. Combined with extra winches, a 1400 mm wheel and all equipment in the aft cockpit, the 350 will be perfect for shorthanded sailing..... I hope.....

When I ordered my 342 in 2005, a cockpit mainsheet traveller was a must-have option. I don't regret making that choice and I cannot see how I could sail without it.
Now, I paid approximately 1 100 Euro for it but I have later discovered that the parts involved, the track and blocks etc. are the same, apart from the track being twice as long. I don't see a good reason for the extra cost of having it fitted in the cockpit. Johan  -------------  http://www.johanhackman.se" rel="nofollow - http://www.johanhackman.se |

that is for everything that is called option ... you have to pay for it.
for exemple whe have the stiping in collor grey (is is now the standard
 but back then is was standard blue and we had to pay 500 euro s more , this while there is no extra work to it ........greetings marcel

| Thanks for the information about the traveler. Other than that - and those pesky option prices - how would you rate the Hanse 350 in terms of value for money? I am trying to decide between the Beneteau 37 and the Hanse 350 which are about the same price in Canada. It seems like there's more quality in the Hanse and better sailing characteristics, but of course the Beneteau comes with 3 extra feet... |

Pete,
The Beneteau and the Hanse feel very different to sail. Do you have an opportunity to take each for a sail? - the 350 is pretty new but a 341 or 370 will be fairly similar. It's like comparing a mini van or family car to a performance vehicle.

Hi Bruno Rather than hi-jack the Hanse in Dubai thread, i thought I would revive this old thread in the Hanse 350 section. The best set up I have seen for a removable traveller was one done by a fellow Hanse owner. I think he owns a H315 and he made a removable cockpit traveller that can also be mounted as a coachroof traveller at the same time. He made the fittings in a way that corresponded to both areas at the same time to have the best of all worlds!! ------------- Onwards and upwards Nidri, Levkada, Ionian, Greece Hanse 350 #7, SY Evolution, standard keel, 3YM20 sail drive, 3 cabins, cherry wood interior, teak decks, feathering prop |

You can consider of building one yourself, like I did. Picture can be found on my website or on the forum. Gregor ------------- Uisge Beatha Currently sailing Dehler 36 JV (2002) Previous boat: Hanse 311 #80 http://www.uisge-beatha.eu" rel="nofollow - http://www.uisge-beatha.eu |

Swanj, As shown on the other thread http://www.myhanse.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7855&PID=62805&SID=62102467e15fce639747e437354zd7397685185&title=hanses-in-dubai#62805" rel="nofollow - http://www.myhanse.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7855&PID=62805&SID=62102467e15fce639747e437354zd7397685185&title=hanses-in-dubai#62805 I'm thinkking about setting a removable cockpit traveller on my H355. I want the fittings to be the smallest possible in order to avoid hitting them with feet & legs when not in use. That's why I'm thinking about (copying) the former ETAP system (see pic). It leaves only 2 rounded small fiiting. The traveler kit is set with only 2 pins. So very easy to remove. As the loads and cockpit width are great on H 355 I should add a 3rd (center point) with a turnbuckle on a cockpitfloor pad eye (the one I added earlier this year). This way the load will be spread on 3 points. This way I could have a 1,8 m (6 ft) long removable traveller. For this I will have to buy a 70 X 70 X 3 mm aluminium profile (don't know the word in english, sorry) and have it laser cuted. I will also need a high beam track. Harken track is great because it's not too high (compare to Selden's). So the whole kit will protude about 9 cm above benches + end fittings & traveller itself. Alternatively I'm thinking about a high beam track laid directly on benches (but not screwed), a single aluminium profile under the center part and fittings like solution nr1. But I don't know if high beam track will stand the load on the two short (30 cm) unsupported ends. So I still thinking and thinking about it. ------------- Bruno hanse 355 - 57 S/Y Spicy Ginger White hull, 2 cabins, Volvo D1-30, Selden rig, removable mainsheet track system, Simrad (now B&G)-Jefa autopilot. |

Hi Gregor I think the link is broken - at least it is for me  ------------- Roger High Time (415 #038) |

Looks like the typical problem with Myhanse.com links. Forum adds http:// in the beginning of the link. So you get http://http://www.... You need to remove both http's and surf on... ------------- Hanse 400#803 s/y Saara |

I don't think that is the problem. The URL in my (Chrome) browser is exactly as Gregor has pasted (i.e. only one http). Does the link generate a double http for you? If so are you using a different browser? ------------- Roger High Time (415 #038) |

Yep.
I get double http's on all of my four computers, having: Win7 IE11, WinXP IE8, Win8 IE10 and iPad2 Safari -browsers.
Actually the second http is missing the colon, this is how it gets on browser's address bar;

Hi Just tried it in IE11 and I get the double http, which explains the link failure. As you say, if you remove the second http the link now works. I've also just discovered that Chrome removes the first http in the address bar (ie a working address starts www.), which explains why the link appears not to have the double http in Chrome.

Glad it sorted.
My iPad also hides "http" so I need to scroll left to get it visible.
Sorry Gregor, just borrowing your link for testing,

OK, just checking that if you strip "http" when you paste a link to this forum, it works fine. ------------- Hanse 400#803 s/y Saara |

Sorry to fill traveler thread with this link stuff,
but if I point Gregors first mail
http://http//www.uisge-beatha.eu/gallery/Winter0910/Overloop/1-20-45.html" rel="nofollow -
http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/gallery/Winter0910/Overloop/1-20-45.html
with mouse cursor it shows on the low left corner of my IE browser window:
http://http//www" rel="nofollow - http://http//www ...
which is not correct, an extra http// is emerged
My testing link
http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/gallery/Winter0910/Overloop/1-20-45.html" rel="nofollow - www.uisge-beatha.eu/gallery/Winter0910/Overloop/1-20-45.html shows on the low left corner:
http://www" rel="nofollow - http://www ...
Which is OK, http:// is added
Gregors last "replay" link
http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/gallery/Winter0910/Overloop/1-20-45.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/gallery/Winter0910/Overloop/1-20-45.html
shows
http://www" rel="nofollow - http://www ...
Which is also OK, but nothing is added even when the link looks exactly like the first faulty one... Go figure.
Oh well, back to travelers ... over and out. ------------- Hanse 400#803 s/y Saara |
