Apparently I got bitten by the sailing bug again, and after briefly having to live without a boat I've lately been spending A LOT of my free time window shopping for a new one as well as diligently reading myHanse to get some understanding about what Hanse owners think about their yachts. A few unresolved thoughts: - A good dealer is key to a good buying experience, which seems quite intuitive. I've contacted the dealer here in my country of residence (Finland) a few times, but haven't yet received any of info that I requested. Is it possible to make the deal with another dealer within the EU? I guess it should be in the spirit of free movement of goods/services within the union, but I suspect that in practice it isn't due to close cooperation with local yards (or actually being both dealer and yard)? - I see a lot of posts concerning snag lists, poor build quality etc from ten years ago. What is the current situation? What should I expect in terms of problem fixing after the yacht is delivered? I assume everything is better now - We're a family of 2 + 4 children and want to cruise in the Finnish archipelago as well as maybe take the odd trip further to Gotland etc. Maximising cabin space and minimising draft we're looking at 348, 388 or 418. As my previous boat was an IMX-38 (which was a joy to sail!) it would be really nice to have a boat that at least theoretically has roughly the same performance, and this narrows it down to 388 and 418. They both look beautiful, have only a small difference in draft, and I am having a hard time figuring out whether the actual difference in performance and space is large enough to justify the increase in price and maintenance costs. - We're big fans of the light "scandinavian" (IKEA? - Lastly: we're not buying this boat for a lifetime, but rather as a few years project until we're ready for the next one. With this in mind, it would be good to select options that won't affect the value of the yacht terribly negatively when we eventually want to sell it a few years down the road. Any help relating to this is much appreciated Thanks for your comments and here's to hoping that next summer we'll be able to contribute to this forum as actual owners in addition to being the dreamers we already are Cheers, Mikael Lönnroth Edited by mglonnro - 11 July 2018 at 10:49 |

If you sailed x-yachts IMX38 and now want a short keel version I think you will get very disappointed with sailing performance but enjoy the high living comfort. I had x-79 and changed to Hanse311 and now got a Hanse370. Even with the 1979 design x-79 jib/genua tracks were spot on. Have never heard about an x-yacht that had to move it's tracks. This forum is full of these stories. Long story short a similiar sized x-yachts (mayby except xc-line) will outperform any hanse yacht. Dehler is more like x-yacht. Btw. There are a lot of Hanse 370 out there with bright color interior. Like this one 3 cabin that has already improved jib tracks :-) Going secondhand you will see that the previous owner has fixed a lot of issues. (One item of caution is the yanmar SD50 saildrive, I desided to avoid ) /H8jer

Thanks for your comments!
And no, not the short keel version, the normal one. IMX-38 draft was 2,11m and although not that short, it wasn't too much of a problem in the archipelago. Hanse 388 normal keel is 2,06m, so that should be ok. Before the IMX I actually had a Dehler 34, and that was fun too ![]() Thanks so much for the link! I found a few other nice boats there as well! Are there any other sites you can recommend for used yachts within the EU? I've located yachworld.com, theyachtmarket.com, blocket.se in Sweden and nettivene.com in Finland. And thank you for the other comments as well. Going second hand would mean we might be out sailing already this year, which would be a definite bonus! /Mikael

Thank you, h8jer!
Found a couple of really interesting 415s.

I received the first offer for a new 388 a couple of days ago. Below is the list of options I specified. Appreciate any feedback on whether something important is left out or something ridiculous included
![]() Intended use: summer sailing in the Finnish archipelago with the occasional trips further within the Baltic Sea: Estonia, Åland, Gotland, mainland Sweden, Denmark ... Two adults and four children would live aboard for a few weeks at a time. Day sailing outside of the vacation season.

That's a long list$$ ![]() If U are going to Denmark a Fenderlist might save the hull from some scratches for pole-harbouring. Also a ForwardScan transducer showing depth for the Zeus3 would be hard to retrofit. For higher resale value I would AVOID Teakdeak and Coloured hull. /H8jer Edited by H8jer - 26 July 2018 at 22:45 |

Yes. Sigh. ![]()
Yes, we have those here in Finland also.

Yes, thought the same. The bow thruster is a small question mark. I have never had one but I am all for technology that makes manoeuvring easier (I think the trend away from sailing yachts towards motor yachts is something that needs to be reversed ![]() I do think a bow thruster is a plus in resale value, but don't know. Thanks again for your comments!

When sailing x-yacht I thought bowthrusters were for beginners. BUT then I got a Hanse with extreme high hull sides... We are so glad for the thruster. Many harbours in Scandinavia are very narrow and in holidays very crowded. You don't want do be without it. Selling a Hanse without bowthruster would be harder because the buyer will press the price down. Once saw a secundhand Hanse offered with two prices with/without thruster installed by the owner. The difference was 15.000 euro. Retofitting anything in a Hanse is very hard because of it is built with hull, inner-shell and deck joined AFTER they got outfitted with plumming, wireing etc. I have a 2008 max compact retracteble and has only had a temp sensor problem, due to design error. Factory recommanded to cut a wire :-) and now it works fine. Edited by H8jer - 27 July 2018 at 08:30 |

The list looks ok for me: Do NOT order the lazybag and sprayhood from Hanse, they supply a inferior quality. I would get them made locally in Turku with high quality sunbrella. I would add three things for a better resale value, which are very hard to retrofit: a) 2 electric winches b) retractable bow thruster c) Teak rub rail The 4th idea: Think about having your dealer adding a bow sprit platform from Batsystems Sweden with integrated bow ladder. Otherwise you will not be be able to moor bow to, as is usual in Scandinavia. Edited by Fendant - 27 July 2018 at 09:21 |
