delivery 430

The interesting point here is that we as customers are treated this way. If you buy a car, the dealer can give you the production slot and date of delivery when you sign the contract, and you are reasonably certain that you will get it on time and that the car actually works from day one.

 

In the boating industry you get the month of delivery, and often there are delays. When you get the boat you have to have your own quality inspection procedure because all too often the product that they have promised to deliver is not delivered. Shakedown cruises etc are the norm in the boating industry, shakedown drives are not in the car industry.

 

And yes Hanse probably has models which sails well , but the problem with misted delivery dates and technical problems seem to me to be an industry problem. I had a Bavaria before...

 

 

Fjonkan,

Hi guys, here are the last news!!

430 #004 will enter in production ..... the 30th of May! Guess that we won't get it before the end of June.
The June maiden cruise has gone.
But don't worry the 430 #004 will be built after the #030 which entered in production  on Saturday last week!! I don't understand anything at all!!
Only cross my fingers.

To continue on the thoughts of Seileren 1, buying a boat is like buying a house, both in terms of completion date, but also in terms of debugging. The same as a house, the best buy would be to get something 1 year old, where the last owner has just finished debugging everything. My Hnnse has now been in my hands for 1 year and has just come back from a 2 week stay at the dealer to get last seasons bugs sorted. And some of the bugs I have decided to fix myself, but that is more due to dealer service level than Hanse boatyard. But got to remember at the end of the day that they are still fantastic boats.

Will you get some kind of compensation for the late delivery?
