  • Sweden 54 IS THE BEST

  • swan 131 is the greatest boat ever.....

  • Elan 450 rules

  • Not a very bright comment.

    You can't generalize like that these days, most manufacturers build boats that were developed by a multitude of construction bureaus and those work for a variety of manufacturers. In the old days it was different, a Westerly was a Westerly and an X-Yacht was an X-Yacht, but these days nearly everybody wants to build cruiser-racers. The speed potential is limited by the laws of physics and not by the name of the company.

  • Sorry,but you don't know anything about fast sailing. This is the dumbest comment I've ever read!!!!

  • So what do you know? What I said is the simple truth, if you can prove me wrong please do come up with facts.

  • Cruiser/racers have a high speedpotential, faster then their length. My Beneteau first goes up to 15+ knots.

    The flat hullshape and the wide back of the yacht make it possible. Racers can even go up to 35+ knots. This Hanze is more of a cruiser. The hull shape doesn.t allow high speeds like that. The amount of cruiser/ravers is limited. There are; X-yachts, J-boats, Grand Soleil, Beneteau first, Swan 42, and a few others. The rest are cruisers. So in a way it's still the old days.

  • Well, I suppose one could put it like that. I see that you're a sailor yourself and your boat is built after a completely different fashion than mine; No need to argue then since we both know what we're talking about. Times and fashions change, but a truly beautiful boat stays a beautiful boat, no matter how fast.

  • of course it´s nice....but hanse yachts are not very fast....the one which won the baltic race was modified for reaching....and it works....e.g. x-yachts are faster and even no racer, only cruiser/racer like hanse....

  • lame, where is the blasting??

  • nice one

  • the hanse 430 is an amazing ship! the hanse 430e #1 just won the baltic race challenge sovereignly. remember: at least it's a touring yacht, not a racer! this 1 has it all, the price is without challenge (when you calculate the extras in, its cheaper ten a bavaria) and the quality is super. thx for posting!
