Kerkyra Hanse 400e Yacht Manual
Overview / Background
Design:
The Hanse 400e is designed by Judel / Vrolijk & Co., a company founded in 1978 by
Fietje Judel and Rolf E. Vrolijk. Known for a series of successful international racing
designs including the past two America’s Cup wins, JVC also has a strong track
record for production racing and cruising designs for Hanse, Dehler, Najad, Grand
Soleil and Baltic Yachts.
Key Specifications:
• Length Overall: 39’3”
• Draft: 6’6”
• Mast Height above waterline: approx. 65’
• Hull Speed: 8.0 knots
Builder:
Hanse Yachts GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1993 and located in Griefswald
Germany, a heartland for boatbuilding since 1361. Hanse has accumulated a long list
of awards for innovation, performance and cruising in the production boat community.
Hanse’s current line of yachts ranges from a 31.5 to a 63-foot
model.
The 400e:
The 400e incorporates Hanse’s new crossover concept for
easy-sailing, high-performing, comfortable cruising yachts.
The 400e was launched in the fall of 2005 and won the 2006
“European Yacht of the Year Award” in the 10-12m class,
overtaking competing nominees from Dufour, Grand-Soleil,
Hallberg-Rassy and X-Yachts. This competition is judged by
journalists from 10 leading European yacht magazines and
awarded at the Dusseldorf boat show each January. Kerkyra
is hull #57 of the 400e model.
Construction:
Epoxy GRP hull construction offers many advantages
over polyester laminates, which result in a lighter, stiffer,
more durable boat. Compared to polyester, epoxy resin
has a higher tensile strength, superior adhesive
properties, lower shrinkage and more resistance to water
penetration and osmosis.
Name:
Kerkyra is named after a mythical Greek water nymph,
daughter of the river-god Aesopos. The sea-god
Poseidon fell in love with Kerkyra and took her away to
the island of Corfu, which is still known as Kerkyra to the
Greeks.
