Hanse 445 Pre-sale and Survey Review

Todays assignment was a Pre-Purchase Survey on this 2011 model Hanse 445. They are extremely popular these Judel / Vrolijk designed aft cockpit cruising yachts. 

Not like a bespoke built yacht, but a spacious and comfortable cruiser that sails well, offers good value and does not need an army to handle it! 

I was not very impressed with the furniture inside the yacht. More of a domestic type fit- out you would see in your house, so it would be interesting to see how the interior holds up in a seawater environment. 

Fountaine Pajot 48 Catamaran Survey - Sea Trial and Review

Todays assignment was in Lefkada and a Pre- Purchase Survey and Sea trial on this Fountaine Pajot 48 Catamaran

Its worth watching the video below to see how they build their hulls. We used the same technology in New Zealand when we were building light weight racers. 

 

Some video of the sea trials. An hours fast sail from Preveza to Lefkada for the 'Haul Out' and then an hour back. 

Sea trials were conducted to measure the vessel's performance and general seaworthiness. Testing of the vessel's speed, manoeuvrability, equipment and safety features are also conducted.
