From its open transom to the thoroughly modern split pulpit and recessed furler on the bow, the new Hanse 430e looks ready to go sailing. And it is. In about 14 knots of wind and lumpy seas off Miami Beach, Florida, last February, the boat loped along closehauled at just about 8 knots. Each tack took only a turn of the wheel, thanks to the self-tending 96-percent jib, and once through the wind, the boat quickly settled in and came back up to speed.

The 430e joins a line of performance cruisers ranging from 32 to 63 feet. Its lines come from the drawing boards of Judel/Vrolijk & Co. and reflect the racing background and ideas of Hanse’s founder, Michael Schmidt. On this boat, that means a wide-open stern, with just two lifelines across the transom. With the twin wheels set fairly far aft, if you want to sit, you do so on either rail, and from either perch the visibility is excellent. While sitting to leeward was fine, I’d suggest adding a foot brace for steering from the high side.

Forward of the wheels, the cockpit’s designed to seat a crowd around an acrylic drop-leaf table that’s fixed in place. Teak on the cockpit sole and seat lockers comes standard. The boat can be purchased with two interior options: One’s a three-cabin layout; the other has the starboard aft cabin left unfinished for storage or a workshop. This space can be entered through the saloon or the well-gasketed starboard-side seat locker.

Broad side decks and standing rigging that terminates inboard make for easy access forward, and there’s excellent traction, thanks to the molded-in nonskid. Darkened, flush-mounted Lexan hatches dominate the centerline of the coach roof and are bordered by teak panels that also provide sound footing. Handrails that stop well before the mast are mounted on either side on the cabin top; they’d make handy places to lash down gear, although they’re too short to give one a sense of absolute security on deck. A deep anchor locker and Lewmar windlass are just aft of the Facnor headsail furler. The anchor roller comes with a bale for deploying an asymmetric.

The 430e is designed around a 9/10ths rig with two spreaders and a full-battened main. All sail-control lines, including both sheets, lead aft, through a covered channel, to line stoppers and a pair of winches on either side of the companionway. The boat we sailed had an electric winch to starboard that made hoisting the main a snap. Under way, however, I found it helpful to have another set of hands to trim the sails, since it was some distance from the wheels to the winches. Using the autopilot when you go forward to adjust trim would be an option, of course. And in addition to those on the cabin top, winches also sit just forward of each wheel for the optional 105-percent genoa and the 140-percent gennaker, so I believe that sheets could be rerouted if one were singlehanding the boat. And speaking of sails, I’d definitely spend the money for the optional ones to improve performance off the wind. On a run back toward the Port of Miami, it didn’t take long before we resorted to the engine.

Below, I liked the contrast between the deep red upholstery and the light cherry woodwork. That, coupled with 10 opening ports and three opening hatches, creates an airy interior space. In port, the saloon would lend itself to entertaining guests, while under way, the furniture and surroundings provide crew with ample handholds.

I also liked the idea of the workshop and storage space available in this particular layout, and I found that the aft and forward cabins would easily accommodate a couple and friends for a getaway or a longer voyage.

In the galley, fiddles and stainless-steel rails wrap around the stone countertop and its centerline stainless-steel double sinks. Equipment includes a two-burner propane stove and oven and an Isotherm front- and top-loading fridge.

The dining table with U-shaped seating is immediately forward of the galley. To port, two chairs and a small table/nav desk create a second seating area. An electrical panel, radio, and plotter are located in a cabinet outboard of the aft seat.

The “e” in the 430e denotes that this boat has the upgraded vacuum-bagged epoxy hull built of sandwiched E-Glass and Core-Cell foam that’s standard on the larger Hanse models. This adds about $14,000 to the price. The deck is a sandwich of glass and end-grain balsa core that’s bonded chemically and with fasteners to the hull. Interior ring bulkheads are laminated in place. Two keels are available: a 7-foot-3-inch foil and a 5-foot-11-inch shoal-draft model; iron is standard, but composite iron-and-lead keels are options in both versions.

A 40-horsepower Yanmar engine and saildrive should be adequate power. Unfortunately, the boat we sailed had mechanical problems, so it was hard to gauge performance while motoring. For longer passages, I’d recommend augmenting the standard 58-gallon fuel tank with additional capacity.

The U.S. East Coast sailaway price for the 430e is $311,000, but outfitted with air-conditioning, extensive electronics, and other options, the boat we sailed would go for $365,000. For a sailor looking for performance and an easy-to-handle rig, this latest offering from Germany has a lot to recommend it. And while the 430e perhaps isn’t for the traditionalist, I found myself nodding approvingly at the boat’s modern good looks.

Hanse 430 is a 43 ′ 7 ″ / 13.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co. and built by Hanse Yachts starting in 2005.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shoal draft version draft: 1.79m | 5.67’ disp.: 10400 kg | 22958 lbs.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Legacy Models: Hanse 430 & 430e

Hanse 430, means 43 feet (ca. 13 m). Exactly 43 feet (ca. 13 m) – no more, no less. You may not believe it, but with Hanse, 43 feet (ca. 13 m) means a true LOA of 13.15 metres. For this length to work, it has to be present in the first place. At the water line, the Hanse 430 measures a total of 12 metres. We have been just as exacting in the overall design as we have been with the length. It is just as important to sail safely as it is fast. The self tacking jib system as well as the hatches have been integrated into the flush decks to ensure safe movement while on deck. Not only do you wish to be fast and safe, but also stress-free. Note that we have located all the critical handling elements for sailing into the cockpit area.
