Updated
The Hanse 370 is a 11.30 m displacement racing yacht designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse, first launched in 2005. It races in Class C. Across the measured fleet it goes better than its own numbers promise, ahead of 22% of the designs it races against. It comes alive as the breeze builds, and gives time away in the light.
Goes better than its own measurements promise, and does it better than 22% of the boats it races against.
124th of 159 in its class.
This design has been found in real race results — 144 starts across 33 events — not only in measurement files.

Report a regattaRound the buoys, or offshore
A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Sharper round the buoys. Short courses reward acceleration and manoeuvring, and that is where this design makes its money.

Where it wins and where it pays
Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.
It does most things without giving much away. It rewards preparation and crew work more than it rewards picking the right day.
Where it gains
Its best ground is across the wind once it pipes up, where it does more than its size and sail area promise, and by a margin worth having.
Where it pays
It falls short downwind in a strong breeze, giving away time it never gets back. That is a displacement hull working to its designed speed.
Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.4 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the beam reach.

How they are set up
The range each sail spans across the fleet.
Nearly all carry a folding propeller. A bowsprit is standard across the fleet. Crew weight is declared around 600 kg.
Rigging
Hanse 370 rig and sail dimensions
A Hanse 370 carries 14.40 m of mainsail hoist on a 5.15 m boom, a forestay 15.05 m above the deck and a 4.49 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 22 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 75 to 110 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.
