Daydream Believer is a well presented example of the Hanse 311. She has been in her current ownership from new and has benefited from the owners meticulous approach to boat maintenance. She is set up for short handed sailing with a furling and self-tacking jib and all lines led aft to the cockpit. The engine and saildrive were replaced in 2023 along with the standing rigging. This boat offers excellent value in a sail -away package.
