Hanse Yachts differentiates themselves from other mass-produced European yachts - our boats are build by sailors for sailors. To us, great sailing performance is just as important as aesthetics and interior design.

Hanse Yachts are fast, but different from other boats of this genre. They are extremely easy to sail and without modifications, easy to sail single-handed. To help in this task our boats come equipped with fully battened main sail, easy-reefing system and a roller furling self-tacking jib.

Hanse Yachts are designed so that no large overlapping genoa is needed. We ensure that in the construction of our boats the floor frame and keel mounts are larger that necessary so that damage will be minimized even in the event of large impact.

On the larger models (371 and 411) the keel is made from two parts, so that even if the keel gets hit, the main part of the impct energy is dissipated and does not reach the hull. Hanse uses advanced gelcoat, Maxguard von Neste, for maximum UV resistance and longevity. Hanse even installs wiring conduits to make later fitment of extra electronics an easy task.

The aesthetic and timeless elegance of the Hanse Yachts has been developed and designed by renowned naval architects as Carl Beyer, Hakan Södergren, Joubert/Nivelt and Judel/Vrolojk. Htey have helped us to produce yachts that offer plenty of space below decks and yet are pretty, fast, safe and easy to sail.
