Ocean Going Yacht Review - Hanse 370e
"We anchored in a lovely lagoon surrounded only by reef and the first morning there got a call on the radio...
... 'the dolphins are coming in the entrance to the lagoon'. We were straight in the water with mask, snorkel and flippers. About 100 dolphins played round the boats.
We swam for about 2 hours before we nearly had hypothermia and they only stayed about 1/4 hour after we were all out of the water.
The dolphins acted differently with different people. For example with Tony, who dived down and swam all over the place, they did the same playing with him.
With me who stays on the surface and swims slowly and gently they came up beside me and just swam quietly. It was an amazing experience. Tony even saw 2 dolphins mating...

Owner Review - Hanse 355
Husam Dajani couldn't believe his luck when he won a brand new yacht for just $100 in the Hanse 355 for Bear Cottage Raffle.
Husam bought the winning ticket at the Sydney Boat Show just a couple of days before the draw because he wanted to support the campaign to raise funds for the only Children's Hospice in NSW...
... he never thought for one moment he would win!
Husam spent many years enjoying power boating but since moving to Sydney he's been learning to sail with a view to making the move into sailing yachts.
After a couple of weeks sailing on Pittwater and a couple of lessons from Team Windcraft, Husam felt ready to sail the Hanse 355 down to Sydney Harbour to her new home at Middle Harbour Yacht Club.
We joined Husam and his son Joey for the voyage on a perfect September day...

In his youth he raced skiffs and then went on to win the the Elliot 7 nationals seven times.
He's also done heaps of blue water racing including one Hobart, a number of Coffs races and lots of general off shore sailing.
As Greig puts it... 'I've sailed on some pretty hot boats.'
So when Greig looked at cruising yachts he wasn't prepared to compromise on performance.
'I need a yacht that's exciting. Yes I want to cruise with my family... but I also need to have fun!!
