In case you wonder what's under the floor boards  and haven't looked yet - here are some before and after from Hanse300

I don't think you have finished exploring!

You should also explore what is under the false bilge tray under the rear floorboard. If you use a small hole saw you can gain access to the hidden bilge that is between the false bilge and hull.

The hole wants to be at the front end  either side of the front central floor board retaining screw in the top of the divider between rear false bilge and front real bilge.
We had a freshwater leak and recovered  two gallons of grunge with a Pela from this hidden location. You can also use hole for retrieving things that can slide into this bilge from under the sink area! A cheap endoscope on a mobile phone helps exploration.

If you do a search on here you will find a previous thread.

Much like the others in the linked thread, I had a dry boat then started to find some water in the bilge which I could not work out where it came from.  It seemed fresh, though a bit difficult to confirm.  Then having dried it out and lifted the boat out, I found more water appear (after heavy rain) so it had to be fresh water.  On investigation, water was coming in around the rudder/tiller at the top, into the rear locker, then seeping back into the bilge where the bilge pump hoses come through.  A a simple bit of sealant around the rudder sorted it out and we have been dry since. Smile

Hope you get time to play on the boat soon (Covid permitting).  I'm sure you will enjoy it.
I have had Hobo for 10 years now and the 301 is such a fun boat.  Goes great in light winds but still safe and keeps going in 25+kts true with 2 reefs and a No.3 - though pretty uncomfortable! (we were racing or I would not have been out).
If you are located in the Solent, come and join the fun at the Portsmouth Sailing Club events (Spring and Autumn race series over 5-6 Saturdays, IRC for the serious racers and Club class for the rest of us.

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

I have a Hanse 300 wing-keel for 3 years

The bottom of your boat is perfect, without the slightest crack.

It's important to watch your boat's bottom from time to time.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for the floor panel at the bottom of the stairs? (in the first 2 pictures in this thread).  Debating whether to repair mine (it has got a bit bashed and ply has come apart a bit where it has got wet) or get a new one.

Cheers,
Alan.

There won’t be the slightest chance of an OEM one so as Steve says Robbens are the best bet for a similar teak and holly sheet which will have to be cut to size probably by someone who knows what they are doing because these are v expensive materials and you don’t want to cut twice!

I tried Hawke Head in Gosport but they only sell the full sheets (2.5m x 1.2m) so they recommended Robbins as well as they supply them and may have offcuts. I'm waiting for them to get back to me.
