PRELIMINARY LISTING -- More photos to come. The Hanse 470e is a luxury cruiser-racer, just as happy cruising from Maine to the Caribbean, as she is on the race course. This particular example should excel equally on the Spring Caribbean racing circuit while cruising the islands in comfort when not racing. With a simple, clean deck layout the 470e is the updated design version of the very popular standard 470. The hull design is further strengthened (see description herein) for long-distance ocean travel with extra reinforced epoxy construction over a galvanized steel subframe. She sports a beautiful open deck layout with a self-tacking jib for a relaxing day sail, but can be fitted with a larger sailplan including an overlapping genoa and various asymmetrical sails to get extra power when speed is required. Having the running rigging hidden inside the deck conduits adds to the slick, stylish and simplistic deck layout. The interior is light and airy and well appointed. Come see her in person.
Construction
Hanse is a high quality production yacht and the 470e hull is unique in the Hanse line in that it's a prepreg epoxy e glass laminate with corecell hard foam core, oven post cured. Bulkheads are glassed, not glued, to both the hull and deck, for a quiet, stiff interior. All high loads, such as the keel, mast step and chainplates, are carried by a massive galvanized steel structure.
Sails & Rigging
She is set up for fast, easy shorthanded sailing. The helmsman has easy access to all winches, halyards, sheets and furling lines, with no need to go forward. The self tacking jib makes daysailing shorthanded more enjoyable.
