A self-taking jub is not particular to the Hanse, almost any boat can be setup that way, it is just a matter of hardware and effect on performance due to the small headsail. Anyone know what a retrofit would cost?
A bit off topic, but how is Hanse offering a new 32 ft boat for $130k given the current exchange of $1.48 plus the shipping costs to the east coast and import duty? It seems low. After adjusting for euro exchange, the price in dollars is slightly more than $87k. Minus to that shipping and duty of $15k (Estimate), and dealer profit of $15k (Estimate at 12%), and I would not think Hanse could build and equip the boat for that and make a profit?
