HanseYachts AG Receives Boat Builder Award 2016

Hanse Builder of The Year Award

Sept 21, 2016

HanseYachts AG has received the Boat Builder of the Year Award 2016 from the British Sailing Today Magazine.

Sailing Today editor Sam Fortescue said: “Hanse Group has had a very busy year, launching a new flagship in the form of the stunning new Hanse 675, the Hanse 588 and the award-winning Hanse 315. Meanwhile Hanse’s more performance oriented Dehler brand saw the launch of a new 42-footer, while its classic 34 has been relaunched and brought bang up to date.”

The redevelopment of the Dehler 34 was particularly exciting because the first Dehler 34, which was built in the 80’s, laid the cornerstone for a new type of boat: the performance cruiser.

The CEO of HanseYachts, Dr. Jens Gerhardt not only gives special thanks to Sailing Today for the award, but also to the employees of the shipyard. “We won this award together! Even with the best designers one cannot build successful yachts, if the production does not work. At the Hanse shipyard everybody works hand-in-hand in order to build unique yachts for the customers. I therefore thank all the staff of the shipyard for their commitment and wish everybody an enjoyable ending of the sailing season 2016.”

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
