Owners Comments

Under her current ownership for the last 9 years she has been a brilliant boat for fast, comfortable and safe family adventures, both locally along the south coast and in the 2017 ARC. She has made in an era when Hanse made their boats strong. She has always given total confidence no mater what the conditions. With 4 en suite cabinets she has been perfect to take away friends and family. With the children now grown up we are looking to downsize and reluctantly putting her up for sale. Constantly updated, she has wanted for nothing. After a very successful ARC in 2017 and a season in the Caribbean and BVI she sailed back to the UK where, over the following 3 years, she went through a major refit, including replacement of all standing and running rigging, new DPS Lite Skin mainsail and Genoa, new stack pack, new YANMAR 110HP engine and gearbox, new fuel tanks, all new batteries, high power inverter and charger, all new Garmin electronics and fusion stereo.
