Hanse 342
We reply within 2-3 days.
On the live Hanse 342 card the overview already names Judel/Vrolijk and Greifswald correctly, but it stretches years to 2006-2012, length to 10.4 m, and beam to 3.45 m, plus about 700-900 hulls. The sheet holds hull/LOA 10.35 m, LWL 9.20 m, beam 3.40 m, and a window about 2004-2007 as a rework of the 341. While chips 2006+ and beam 3.45 fight the sheet, you are not yet looking at a consistent 342.
The model is a Judel/Vrolijk fractional sloop with the 341 self-tacking philosophy: draft about 1.85 m (option about 1.58 m), ballast about 1 660 kg, displacement about 5.1-5.4 t. We keep live Greifswald and the designer name. Hull count 700-900 is not taken as SSOT. We do not invent an asking price. The hanse-350 journal is not rewritten in this pass.

Calculations and ratios
Brochure numbers need matching units. Open a FairHelm formula page for the classical form, rule of thumb, and limits before you compare listings.
Design history
On survey, match keel type to stated draft, check keel bolts and the joint, moisture at chainplates and the forestay, standing-rigging age from invoices, saildrive service - the live checklist is already close.
Typical problems
Live overview 2006-2012 / 3.45 / 10.4 closes against the sheet ~2004-2007 / 10.35×3.40 / LWL 9.20 and the 341 successor role.
Annual ownership costs
Annual cost bands in kronor read as a berth class around 10.35 m, not a yard quote. We do not invent an asking price here.
Calculators for this boat
Indicative figure for weekend use. The country supplies berth and winter. The insurance line stays the Swedish planning band - not a Danish, German, or Dutch premium. Maintenance stays Swedish too. Not a marina quote.

Antifouling
Litres need waterline length and draft. This page only has length overall and beam, so litres are not calculated here.

Pre-purchase survey checklist
Neighbors hanse-350 and hanse370 are not cloned here: first fix years and beam to the 342 sheet.
Expert verdict
FairHelm rating: 7.6/10: Easy-sail German cruiser with Baltic liquidity; survey deck hardware and saildrive on older hulls.
