I am thinking of buying a 301 as I have read favourable reports on this site. However I am concerned as to the light weather performance and am wondering If fitting a sail rig from a 415 would improve it. Has anyone done this ? And could you give me any tips as to how to do it |

Why not adding the rig of the 630? Would improvbe much more the light wind performance

I checked the calander too. I would say that fit a mast from 415 to a 301 is a joke. You canīt take all that weight on a 301, you would tip over in light winds. You cant even have a mast from 320. ------------- S/Y LaRey Hanse 320 #430 Gothenburg, Sweden |

I had thought that I could fit an outrigger to improve stability, but that would make marina costs prohibitive And going everywhere on a port tack difficult. My latest plan is to fit a 125 hp engine that would gives entry of ballast in the right place I also calculate that it should give me a cruising speed under power of 32 knots This would mean that I could make a passage from Barmouth to Dublin in 3 hours saling or motoring This would give me lots of Guinness dr,nuking time. |

Yeah, If you look around there is possibly a keel off one of the old america's cup boats that you glue on the bottom, good luck! ------------- kiwihanse 400e Any two yachts heading in the same direction, then it's a race! |

The first scetches are done: before relaunch  after relaunch  BTW. I also inflated the hull a little bit. this way the 301 has much more space inside, but you only have to pay for the size of a Hanse 301 as you pay by length in most harbours.... ------------- Blake 370

As far as I know the 301 is the only Hanse with a wing keel so with a few more horsepowers you could fly across the Irish Sea. Good luck! Johan -------------  http://www.johanhackman.se" rel="nofollow - http://www.johanhackman.se |

I am suprised Holby has not told you how superfast a 301 is anyway, without turbo charging.
He does not normally miss a chance to extol the virtues of the 301l !!!
He must be slacking!!! ------------- Daydream Believer- Hanse 311- No GBR9917T- Bradwell Essex |

With some of the epoxy left over from any repairs you could extend the water line length to that of a 415 while your at it, but then you open your self up for higher marina cost.

I extended the waterline without extending the boat itself: Now it looks like a 2012 model   ------------- Blake 370
