DECK, INTERIOR & LAYOUT

The Hanse Easy Sailing Concept is legendary. Hanse invented the integrated self-tacking jib and were the first to bring all the lines aft to the helm position.

Easy Sailing – Individual Customisation

This means you can sail your Hanse solo or short handed while your guests chill.

The deck is free of lines and fittings delivering comfort and space both at sea and when you’re relaxing at anchor.

The new range of Hanses take individual customisation to the next level with a huge choice of technical features, layouts, flooring, fabrics and wall coverings. Your Hanse Yacht will be uniquely yours.

Hanse Engineering – the Best of Everything

They engineer the yacht with precision.

The formula is simple. Here’s some examples…

Hanse use a vinylester resin in the lay-up of every hull. So your Hanse yacht is strong yet light and virtually impervious to any water penetration or osmosis.

Every Hanse keel is fixed to the hull with stainless (not mild) steel bolts and 20mm thick backing plates. The bulkheads are glassed in laminate to the deck and the hull. Your can be confident your Hanse will safely cross any oceans with you.

Hanse Steering and Performance Rig

Hanse steering systems are built in Denmark by Jefa. Jefa have manufactured rudder and steering products since 1980 and they are recognised as world leaders in this field. 

A self-tacking jib is an integral part the design of every Hanse yacht from day one. It’s part of a performance rig which has a tall mast, a large mainsail and a tall headsail. For you it means your Hanse yacht is beautifully balanced and you can sail fast with ease.

And if you’re after performance you’ll like what Hanse offer as standard on all their yachts.

Top Quality Interiors

Hanse understand how important great design is at every stage of the process. So in true Hanse style they turn to the best.

Design Unlimited and Birgit Schnasse are heavily involved in producing fabulous, contemporary interiors with incredible attention to detail.

As always quality is the word at every stage. For example you’ll find a real wood veneer on every cupboard door. The standard microfibre for the upholstery is exceptional, or you can upgrade to Italian leather if you choose. You’ll love the top and bottom loading fridges, separate showers and huge number of opening hatches.
