I've chartered the 41.1 and the 415 (which I think the 418 replaces).
Not much to choose between them, both nice boats for the med. Good size.
Neither
boat has a traveler, which I miss. The
Oceanis has an arch, but the main is attached at the central point. The Hanse has what some call the German mainsheet system of two blocks on the coach roof. I dislike this setup too, but at least you can mess with it to move the boom on or off the
wind whilst still maintaining downward tension. And its sort of its own crash gybe preventer when sailing downwind. I find the setup needs too much messing with though, prefer a traveler, but that's just me.
Boats like this a ten a penny in the med (comparatively speaking) the only reason I can see for buying new is if you want a two
cabin layout, as most of the used ex
charter boats
for sale will have three cabins.
Either
boat will be a comfortable place to spend a couple of months in the med sun, buy whichever you like the look of more I guess. There's many other similar boats too.
