Speed in knots at 20 knots of true wind. Green marks the angles that pay: the closest useful beat and the deepest run worth sailing.

Rigging
Hanse 301 rig and sail dimensions
A Hanse 301 carries 11.25 m of mainsail hoist on a 3.90 m boom, a forestay 9.77 m above the deck and a 4.07 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 2 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 53 to 68 m² depending on bowsprit and set-up. Before ordering a sail, read the figure on your own measurement record rather than the typical one for the design.
