Hanse 540 sails: questions
How much is a new mainsail for a Hanse 540?
From A$10,247.60 in Dimension-Polyant Optimum Cruise with 3 leech battens and a full-length head batten, or A$10,534.70 with 4 full battens. C-Breeze, the long-life cloth, starts at A$13,187.90. Every mainsail is cut to the Hanse 540 rig (P 21.45 m, E 6.50 m) with two reefs.
What size genoa does a Hanse 540 need?
We build 110% to 150% LP for the standard rig (I 21.25 m, J 5.99 m). Pick a smaller genoa for a windy home port and a larger one for light-air sailing. Furling genoas start at A$8,402.90.
What size spinnaker fits a Hanse 540?
A Size 12 (148 m²) asymmetric suits the Hanse 540 fore-triangle. It starts at A$4,249.30, or A$5,449.40 with a dousing sock.
What size storm jib and trysail fit a Hanse 540?
The Offshore Special Regulations cap a storm jib at 5% of I squared (22.6 m² here) and a trysail at 17.5% of P × E (24.4 m²). That makes our Maxi (12 m²) storm jib and Maxi (15.5 m²) trysail the right sizes.
How do I check my boat matches these measurements?
Measure I, J, P and E and compare them with the rig table. We confirm every measurement with you before the sail is cut.
