Hana Båtforening is a marina located in Sandnes and has an active membership community. The association is known for arranging an annual May 17th parade, where boats participate in a convoy. This event includes a joint departure with singing and salutes, and gives participants the opportunity to experience one of Norway's largest boat parades. In addition, the association has a historical focus, with participation from veteran boats that help preserve maritime traditions.
The association collaborates with local boat associations and cultural organizations to promote maritime activities in the region. Hana Båtforening also offers information about harbor regulations and membership, which makes it easier for interested parties to become part of the community. Through volunteer work and joint activities, the association engages boaters from Ryfylke and the Stavanger region, and contributes to an active and inclusive environment for everyone with an interest in boats and sea life.
