The hull of this Hanse is constructed of prepeg fibreglass in epoxy, vacuum cured with CorecellTM foam. This results in a lighter and stiffer hull than the standard polyester version, with the epoxy laminate also offering high osmosis resistance. The Hanse 430e has a beautifully lined, modern hull shape, which of course offers the good sailing characteristics expected of a Hanse.<br />
<br />
The superstructure is sleekly designed, with all halyards from the cockpit nicely concealed below deck. The yacht offers a very spacious, open cockpit with double steering position. This Hanse 430 has an optional stainless steel railing on the stern, to close off the cockpit. In addition, this railing provides two additional, folding seats.<br />

The Hanse has a nice and practical and clean designed interior, with three spacious cabins. The navigation corner with sofa can be converted into an extra berth or pilot berth if desired. In the front there is a very nice and spacious owner's cabin, with en-suite wet cell and secretaire with bench. The two aft cabins are also spacious. The spacious saloon offers a round seat, with opposite navgation corner, which is thus practically incorporated into the saloon area, as a cosy seating option.
