Many modern coastal cruising designs fall short of expectations when it comes to conbining performance, ease of handling, interior accommodation and functional layout.

To resolve these issues Hanse have created a range of yachts that prove to be as 'sailor friendly' as they are elegant. With superb interior volume, large cockpits and luxurious accommodation, these proven designs are ideal for more ambitious coastal pursuits. Their advanced below waterline profile, coupled with high aspect ratio fin keel, gives stability, speed, precise helm control and the unrivalled performance of any modern cruiser.

The large clean foredeck and ample sidedecks are impressive and together with the spacious cockpits give a distinct big boat feel. Particularly noticeable are the clean decks and short handed friendly sail plans. The rig are fractional, with swept-back spreaders and backstay adjuster as standard, all with self tacking roller furling jibs. The sheets, halyards, reefing lines and vang control are all led below the deck to rope clutches and optional electric winches. All lines and main winches are within reach of the helm.

The big boat feel continues below. Ample opening port lights further enhance the brightness of the saloon while providing more ventilation than many boats twice the size. Interior spaces are styled with 'antique white' bulkheads and either varnished mahogany or the lighter, even more contemporary option of cherry style joinery.

There is many a prospective owner who feels they will lack either the time or the energy to even get underway of a weekend, and when there is no enthusiastic partner or crew, it can all too often become just too much to effort. However, Hanse build boats that are not only simple to sail, but offer many of the amenities only usually found on much larger yachts. Imagine all of that in a boat that can be underway in literally minutes with minimal effort.
