52 meter (!) sailboat named 'Hansen' ?

[Sven]

Yesterday we heard LA traffic call 'Hanse' or 'Hansen' or something like that:

- This is Hansen on channel 12

- Are you a sailing vessel ?

- Yes we are

- Are you 52 meters ?

- Yes we are a 52 meter pleasure craft

- Are you aware that you must monitor Ch 14 for traffic ?

- Yes we are

- Thank you

There was more but they are supposed to be here in San Diego by now and I was wondering what this HUGE sailboat might be ?

Might be associated with HellyHansen.com ?

Hanse/Hansen/Nazenin V

Sven, Helly Hansen is not involved in building boats AFAIK.

Hanse Yachts builds some nice boats, but nothing that big.

Could you have heard the name "Nazenin"? She is a 52M Superyacht (and there are many 52M superyachts around the world). Check it out:

I do not know if she is/was in San Diego, but it is possible..
Cheers,
