GOOD LUCK to the Hanse's entered in the ARC 2011 - Hanse 370e - NOR
Hanse 545 - GER
Hanse 470e - ESP
Hanse 470 - FRA
Look forward to hearing you have reached St Lucia safely in time for Christmas.
I hope at least one has got a myHanse burgee to fly high in the Canary Islands and then in St. Lucia....

I will really recommend to take your Hanses over the Atlantic. This year we had perfect conditions on the crossing, with lots of downwind except from the 3 last days with no or less wind. Luckily I bought some twin jibs from Watson Sails in Dublin (Phillip Watson is a Hanse detaljer) and the conditions was perfect for using them. With 2 spreaders and two identical sails on the same furl I had an easy job sailing up to 189 nm within 24 hours (and yes; the 370 was REALLY heavy loaded with 6 persons, food, water and equipment!) We used 18 days to do the crossing. Now we are in paradise; (mostly) sunny and 27 degrees celsius in the water. Really something to look forward to, Henrik!  ------------- FriFlyt 370#332 |

I have been cleaning out the cellar storage in my house and found and old chart that I would be willing to lend to anyone who is planning to make the hop across the pond.  Johan  -------------  http://www.johanhackman.se" rel="nofollow - http://www.johanhackman.se |

At the moment there are three Hanse's signed up for the 2012 ARC, including a Hanse 325 from NOR. well done. Henrik, I presume your application is in the "post"
