T&T - News: Hanse 370 in exclusive testPhoto: YACHT
Cruiser, redefined

The Hanseyachts shipyard in Greifswald has fundamentally renewed its programme and is presenting the successor model to the Hanse 371. The new model is more modern and voluminous, the stern is wider and the hull ends are steeper. Another feature is the wide range of variants.

For the interior, the customer can choose from two types of wood and 16 different interior modules. There is also the option of having the hull made of epoxy resin for an additional charge. This measure prevents osmosis and saves weight.

The rig concept has remained the same: the standard version of the Hanse 370 is equipped with a self-tacking jib. The shipyard intends to remain true to its policy of low prices. The basic price of the Hanse 370 is 108,228 euros, which is quite favourable and is only undercut by Bavaria Yachtbau, Harmony (France) and Delphia (Poland).

YACHT had the opportunity to test the boat extensively in various conditions. Report in the current issue 24 (from 16.11.06) at the kiosk.
