- This job turned out to be a little more than expected but we got it done. If you have a Hanse 418 it chould be useful to see a little of how these are anchored down too.
I hope you enjoy this technical episode.

BRAVO JACQUES
Patients is a virtue Chris, well done. Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks very much, trying my best to get some done
Great to see you back - have really been looking forward to these vids, and can’t wait to see some archipelago sailing footage! Hope you had a great last sailing season, with less mishaps with the boat (exciting for the viewers with some drama perhaps, but me thinks this kind of bold, conscious hole-making is more than enough 😅. Also, I think all agree you deserved some smooth sailing). Cheers!
Thanks, glad to be back also. Indeed, some sailing footage is coming, just need some time to edit.
It's so true what you say, it's nice to see some drama on UA-cam but at the same time you kind of feel sorry for those people and wish them the best for the future. Luckily it was smooth sailing for this year for us :)
Hi Chris, That was a nice video and i am looking forward for the next 🎉
Thanks very much :)
Fun to see more updates! Still missing the tech update from your video ~1 year back! ;)
Hi Fredric, it's coming don't worry, have now replaces all of the batteries too. So soon when it get's a little warmer, I will do an update of that
Thanks, Chris, for this technical episode. I could feel your frustration trying to access the area behind all the panels, but the end result shows how satisfying it can be. I intended to ask why not use nuts on the inside, but your explanation makes perfect sense. However, I still would be somewhat concerned about the corrosion between the pad-eyes screws and the threads in an aluminum plate-but they can always be inspected. Nevertheless, your video and the editing made this a joy to watch. Cheers.
Thanks very much. Never thought about the corrosion but I guess if it's super sealed it shouldn't be too bad. Cheers
Nice job, and as always an excellent video!
Thank you :)
Nice job :)
Cheers Tino, how is life with you these days? Any updates on the boat?
@@SailingAurora Life is mostly work, but also necessary if I want to buy a bigger boat. Think I'll go for a Bavaria 39 from around 2006, but I also have an eye on the older Beneteau boats in the 1994 area. BootsProfis here on UA-cam has just posted a video regarding a Beneteau 44cc and it looks very nice :)
I have also added the Beneteau 42 cc and the Beneteau 423 to my list.
I admire your courage. I think I would attach the block or a frictionless eye to the bollard and be done.. 😋
I thought about that later too :)
Welcome back Chris and good job, you achieved pretty much the factory set up 👍. I have already installed an arch and davits so if you want me to send you photos of my set up fined me on the Hanse Forum under ‘Ranu’ and pm me.
Cheers Brian, I think I have seen the davits you have if you are in Australia, they look really good. Please if you have detailed photos if you can share them to info@sailingyachtaurora.com that would be appreciated. I will probably have to advise any company that will fabricate it. Much appreciated. Chris
Definitely I would cut my self too :) Good to see things like this happen to someone else too, not only me :)
Hur är det med fingret? 😀
Snart säsong igen, så vi ses kanske på marinan
Finger is good, it wasn't too bad. Yes soon hopefully we will be sailing again. January and Feb can drag on a little for sure :)
You are a brave man Chris. Taking your boat apart like that scares me 😂 But I love your technical videos, keep them coming. One question, did you also support the clutch from below? Im thinking to install one as well, but was thinking to just mount it in the fiberglass, as there should not be a lot of pressure on the furling rope.
Hi Peter, thanks. You can probably use a thread insert directly into the fibreglass for something like that. Bear in mind the when you have the foresail reefed in heavy winds there could be a fair bit of strain on the furler. The force is lateral though so that's a benefit also. WIth the Code 0 padeyes it's kind of upwards and lateral.
It is really hard to install anything new to these production boats. They should design these so that you can do maintenance. The best thing in a hand-made small product run boat is that you can open everything and no clue in places that can need maintenance.
True, in most cases things are pretty accessible. I think on any boat there tends to be very awkward places to acess, on production boat there are probably a few more locations. All of the maintenance areas are pretty accessible but for running cables, adding extras it can prove difficult
@Sailing Aurora you have done excellent upgrades. The good thing in Hanse is that you have all the plans, etc. documented, and you can get info from other owners. My boat is one of 8 and all are different. Even the enterior has three major variants. Also, the yard whent bust, so no help from there.
Did you coat your screws to prevent galvanic corrosion ?
Nope as there should be no water getting past the sealant
Nice neat job. Looks good. How was all the trim fixed did not look easy to remove and how did you re fix it. 👍
Thanks, we fixed it back up with sikaflex and a hot glue gun, the hot glue gun is quick drying so it holds the panel up while the sikaflex dries.
Nice! What did you used as a filler for that epoxy? Looks quite sticky as it is holding the aluminum plate there.
Thanks, it was West systems 406 Colloidal Filler, it's very useful stuff
