Hei Steinar
Loks like be there at the same time. My plan as it looks now is that I will drive down from Norway Sunday Apr 10th. Then do the handover of the boat hopefully on Monday. Hopefully there will not be many issues. I will stay in the boat for a day or two, then take the car back up to Norway. Then I will fly back to Germany ( probably to Hamburg or Berlin ) together with my crew on Thursday or early Friday. This way the yard will have some days to sort out any problems with the boat, amd I will get all the heavy things like tools, liferaft, cold weather clothing and other things that would not fit to well on an airplane.

Ps: Anyone else to pick up their new boats around this time?

Hi,
I will also be pickup my hanse 400 up around that time. Handover from the dealer on the 14th of April. I will come from Denmark by car and leave again the same day - via Gedser-Rostock.
On the 16th I will arrive with my crew in the morning - again with car from Denmark. We expect to leave Greifswald around 11:30 to secure that we reach the Weick Bridge for the opening at 13:00.
After that we expect to sail to Stralsund - to reach the opening at 17:20. This should be feasible - 4 hours for a distance of 19,5 nm.
We will stay in Stralsund for the night and have an early leave for Denmark/Vallensbæk. We expect to leave around 6:00.
I wish you all other an nice and safe sail.
BR

We now have the handover with the dealer / shipyard on 15.4. 
The transfer is about to start on 22.4, maybe via Grönsund or directly direction west / south west. Janni ------------- Hanse 320 #548 "SCHNEGGE" |

Yesterday we have been told, that the handover has been shifted to 14.4..
Hanses way of communication is quite difficult to understand. We did our plans, made the day available and now - just a one line mail from the dealer and, in a telcon no acceptable explanation....

Now it is my turn with some bad news - delivery has been postponed at least 14 days due to delivery problems of bow thurster - I am told. 
A petty when travel arrangements have been booked and paid for including collection of crew to sail it to Denmark.

Was in Greifswald to the acquisition of our Hanse 325 on Friday 8 April. Had agreed takeover at 0800 with Fjord Sailing. We arrived at 0740 and were greeted by two smiling early birds from Fjord Sailing was already in place by boat. We went through the boat after being informed of a couple of things that they had not had time before we came. besides that they were informed, we found no errors or omissions. what they had been informed were mostly arranged during the day. it blew dogs and cats in Greifswald on Friday so it was no walk out on the water that day. But Saturday we awoke to glorious sunshine and that fit with the wind for a trial voyage (12-18 knots) Boat, sails and weather was absolutely perfect. Everything worked as it should and myself were happy enough. After all the negative one has been able to read about delivery and poor quality one was the more naturally a bit skeptical prior to arrival, but this was totally unfounded. So big thanks to Dag and Raymond from Fjord Sailing and their hired German serviceman Tom did more than expected and made the acquisition a very positive experience. After all the negative one has been able to read about delivery and poor quality one was the more naturally a bit skeptical prior to arrival, but this was thoroughly ashamed ------------- smartline 325#18 |

Yesterday, we had the handover of our H230, #548, Hull 372
After a drive @ 0 degrees and through dense fog, we arrived half an hour too early at Hansevertrieb in Greifswald. Our boat was already laying at the berth and two guys were cleaining it. Mr. Wittmann from Nordlicht arrived in time and the handover took place. indeed it took the whole day, with some interruptions and some phone calls. Under the bottom line, the boat is really nice. + all extras well installed (traveller, lights, radio, vhf, autopilot, windmeter...) + LED position lights already installed We had one very negative point: The seavalve for the heads was installed under the floorplate (fixed by screws), no hatch access...... 
Now Hanse / Nordlicht have a week to fix the major (and some smaller) issues until we pick the boat up .

Janni, congratulations to your new boat! I'm sure that you will be very happy with it. The seavalve solution is definetly one stupid solution!! Is it not possible to saw a hole and make a lid to it as it is on the other boats for various things? I assume that the handle for the valve have to be shortened but it would still be easiet to access.
I hope they find out a smart solution for you.
Best wishes,

Janni - where is this seacock? Is it for the sea water inlet (our one is under the galley sink) or is it for the black water outlet ( our one is in the floor of the sail locker behind the heads).

Hi Charles,
the seacock is the one to supply the heads, flushing water for the toilet. It is lockated directly in front of the the door to the heads, at the side of the charttable. My guess is that they took the hull from the actual 325 production with related seacocks and that they have put the 320 floorplan / interiour on top, so that the hatch for the seavalve is missing.

The positioning of the heads water inlet on the 325 now seems to be different to the 320 where it is under the vanity basin in the heads, and is easy to access. There should be an access hatch in the floor above your sea cock. Unless you can cut one neatly yourself, I suggest you insist that your dealer sends you a new floor board (as it is not too large an area) with an access already cut in. You may also be interested in looking on the 320 forum regarding bilge water, for future information. John ------------- Hanse 320 #464 'Discovery' |

We have finally received the boat with a hatch to access the seacock. All claims have been handled before we left Greifswald about a week after the handover.
We have sailed the boat from Greifswald to Eckernförde in fantastic weather, blue sky all over for the whole week. Up to now, we only found minor issues with the boat. We had a heavy rainshower last Sunday and found water ingress at the aft of the boat in the aft cabin. We opened the inspection hatch and found that the water comes from the throttle handle. Today we claimed with our dealer Nordlicht, who has been working ok so far. Another issue is the heating, where the exhaust pipe is openly mounted in the big locker. From our point of view, dangerous, as any item moving on the pipe can be put to fire.... We did not find any issue with the windows yet, they seem to be watertight. There is no water visible at the bilge, at none of the inspection hatches. Also after some heavy rolling and pitching, everything is still dry. I will let you know any news.

My congratulations Janni!!! I hope everything goes fine about your boat...
As for the leaking throttle - I had exactly the same issue in heavy rain or heavy washdown the water leaks through the shaft inside the aft cab...I worked out the problem by installation of a suitable sealing ring on the shaft under the handle...the handle now is a bit tighter to operate (still fine) but the unit is now waterproof even in heaviest rains... ------------- Hanse 320 #079 White hull, tiller, short keel and rudder, standard North sails, Sparcraft rig |

In general, we are quite satisfied with the boat.
We have a couple of minor issues, which are being sorted out by our Hanse Dealer, Nordlicht. We had a small hole in the Gelcoat, which has been repaired by the Nordlicht technian just last week. He also sealed the motor panel with some Sika. With which material did you seal the handle? Do you have some pictures? Janni ------------- Hanse 320 #548 "SCHNEGGE" |

It's a simple oil resistant rubber o-ring about 4-5 mm thick (this can vary depending on the gap between the throttle body and the handle)...it has to be soft , better with sharp edges towards the body as well as the handle...you simply remove the handle, place the o-ring on the shaft and attach the handle back...it shouldn't leak for some time (in my case a year already)...when it does - replace the o-ring and keep sailing...I don't have photos...but I will buy a spare o-ring and will make a pic of it...to be honest there's no rocket science here...it's very simple...
Good luck... ------------- Hanse 320 #079 White hull, tiller, short keel and rudder, standard North sails, Sparcraft rig |
