New racing yacht from Hanse Yachts

Hanse Yachts is aiming to leave its mark on the international regatta scene once again. The design team of Judel, Vrolijk & Co have developed a gem of a competitive racing yacht based on the Hanse 430e for the GER 5969 regatta team, which will not have to take cover from other yachts of its size – the Hanse 430e Competition.

The modifications to the mast, keel, and rudder are what primarily set the 430e
Competition apart from the series model. The Hanse 430e Competition is fitted with modern materials such as a carbon mast, has approximately 20% more sail area, and weighs about 1.5 tons less! Furthermore, the deck layout has been revamped, offering the crew optimal on-board working conditions.

The team is stacked with class throughout: project manager and main trimmer Ralph Moser along with skipper and helmsman Jörn Bock can both look back on countless triumphs at various regattas. Tactician Stefan Matschuk sailed on Rubin at the Admirals Cup. Pitman Rasmus Pichler is a regular crewmember on the Maxi yacht UCA, on which numerous sailing records have already been set, and mastman Timo Jacobs, bowmen Nico Jeschonnek and Jan Dabelstein, along with trimmer Jörn Dierks have all shown what kind of potential the Hanse 430e has. They were all part of the Frühstücksdirektor crew which won the Baltic Sprint Cup in 2007.

Starting on 16 April, the crew will be able to show off their technical know-how on a yacht specifically constructed with them in mind. That’s when one of the most important international regattas in the Mediterranean kicks off, the 'Palma Vela' off the coast of Palma de Majorca. In addition, the Hanse 430e Competition will compete in the Mediterranean Championships in Punta Ala, Italy (4-8 June), the 9th Trofeo de la Reina (9-12 July) off the coast of Valencia and last but not least the Copa del Rey off the coast of Palma de Majorca (26 July – 3 August).
