Test Sailing the Hanse 455 Performance Cruiser
I found myself entertaining such thoughts during a recent test sail of the new Hanse 455 on Narragansett Bay. It was a perfect day, with a crisp 10-knot breeze blowing out of the southwest. As we made our way south, though, the wind built steadily the closer we got to the Newport Bridge.
Boat Review: Hanse 510, Top 10 Best Boats 2024 Winner
Hanse returned to Berret-Racoupeau, who also designed the 460 (a Top 10 Best Boats 2023 winner), to create the 510, and the result can leave you lingering over the lines. Starting with an aggressive, wave-piercing reverse bow, the relatively flat sheer and low deckhouse give this boat a fast, agreeably sharkish look even sitting still, despite ...
Boat Review: Hanse 315
Boat Review: Hanse 315. The baby of the Hanse 5 series, the 315, looks surprisingly serious at the dock. She's got an almost predatory look, even compared to any 50-footers that might be in the area—which seems funny until she gets out on the water and kicks some booty. Between her easy-sailing rig that cuts down on tacking drama and her ...
Hanse 548 review: The push-button 50fter that can be sailed by a couple
Does push-button technology mean a 50-plus footer really can be sailed easily by a couple? David Harding puts the Hanse 548 to the test in the Solent
Hanse 460 review: First in a new range
The Hanse 460 is the first in a new range of Hanses. She is already a big hit, with over 200 sold and a European Yacht of the Year win to its name.
Hanse 460: first test of this luxurious cruiser
The Hanse 460 is unquestionably such a boat. How the crew lives aboard and moves around, both above and below decks, has clearly been thought about in the context of modern lifestyles. The port aft heads includes a shower as standard. Credit: David Harding. And this boat exudes style with a capital S.

Hanse 400: popular modern performance cruiser
Voted European Boat of 2006, the J & J-designed, Hanse 400 still has all the attributes of a modern performance cruiser. Founded in 1993, Hanse became Germany's second largest production sailing yacht builder after extending its Greifswald site in 2005, and now produces 750 yachts annually including the Moody, Dehler and Privilege brands.
Hanse 315: Small Cruiser, Big Sailing Fun
The Hanse 315 may be small for a cruiser, but Hanse manages to pack a lot into this package. The Hanse 315 replaces the older 325, and is the product of the Judel/Vrolijk design team that has been securing podium finishes for decades. The construction is a vacuum-bagged, cored epoxy sandwich with a built-in lip at the gunwale for better footing ...
Hanse 371 review: Different by design
The Hanse 371 is a lot of boat for the money - but to buy her for the price alone would be to miss the point, says David Harding
Boat Review: Hanse 588
Boat Review: Hanse 588. This new full-size performance cruiser from Hanse replaces the successful Hanse 575, and includes updates and improvements developed with the help of input from active owners.

Hanse 371
Interestingly, the Hanse line is designed by Judel/Vrolijk, a firm best known for a long list of high-profile, high-performance boats. Schmidt adds, "Hanse sailboats are designed for speed without the need for a large crew, and designed to the rule of the sea." The Hanse 371, on which our attntion is focused here, was designed in 1999.
Hanse 315 Sailboat Review
Jeremy McGeary reviews the Hanse 315 for the 2007 Cruising World Sailboat Show. Hanse Yachts didn't plan on selling the Hanse 315 in America, but U.S. customers requested its appearance, despite the freight premium on a boat this small. Described by the builder as a family performance cruiser, in its standard form the clean-cut 315 is set up ...

Hanse 400 Boat Review
Conclusion. The Hanse 400 is a cruising boat for those who love to sail, and a club racer for those who enjoy a summer cruise. Its construction quality and price point qualify it as a cost-effective alternative in the 40-footer marketplace. The vessel has the right set of attributes for the light-air conditions of the bays and sounds of the ...
Boat Review of Hanse 415 Cruiser
The Hanse 415 is superficially like a lot of new production cruising boats in the 40-foot range. It has a plumb bow, generous beam carried well aft, a comfortable cockpit, dual helms and a walk-through transom leading to a drop-down swim step. Like many new cruising boats today, it's also designed to be fast and easy to handle. But as I found out during a test sail on Narragansett Bay last ...
Hanse 400e Sailboat Review
A handy vanity with a stowaway seat is a cute little touch. A second head forward is an option. Overall, the Hanse 400e shares a lot in common with several 2009 Volks-wagens, another product of German engineering. In other words, it's cool, quick, and modern, all delivered at a very respectable price. Herb McCormick is a CW editor at large.
Hanse 315 boat test
The Hanse 315 is sprightly and spirited to sail, particularly upwind and close reaching. We averaged around 7 knots close-hauled, where 32° to the apparent wind (45° true) was the sweet spot ...
Hanse 388 review: a comfortable and elegantly styled yacht

Boat Review: Hanse 505. The boats built by this German yard just keep getting better and better. Following on the success of its 575 model, this new mid-range cruiser from Hanse is set to appeal to aspiring bluewater cruisers.

Hanse 415 Yacht Review
The Hanse 415 yacht, drawn by Judel/Vrolijk & Co., with an interior by Hanse's Water Vision, is the latest entry in the builder's lineup of sailboats that are, by design, both exciting and simple to sail. Controls—a pair of single reef lines, halyards, and a main and a jib sheet—are led to winches set just forward of the two helm ...
