The lead up to the 2025 Hansa Class World and Inte

The lead up to the 2025 Hansa Class World and International Championships, 23 to 30 March 2025 at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, is the opportunity to celebrate Hansa’s aims and what makes this international class unique.
Boating Industry Association President Andrew Fielding said Hansa was an outstanding example of the diversity of business within the BIA membership across Australia.
Hansa Sailing came about through the evolution of a sailing dinghy designed by Chris Mitchell. A life-long boat builder, Chris was living and working in Southeast Asia when he designed the forerunner of the current Hansa 2.3.
