Boat Review: Hanse 510, Top 10 Best Boats 2024 Winner
Hanse has sold more than 200 of this boat's little sister, the 460 that was launched in 2021. That's a hard act to follow, but there's no doubt this 510 will appeal to sailors who want a lot more of a good thing. Photo courtesy of Hanse Yachts. LOA 52'5" (with bowsprit) LWL 47'7". Beam 16'1".

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 ...
Test Sailing the Hanse 455 Performance Cruiser
Hanse 360 With the new 360, Hanse Yachts continues its design partnership with Berret-Racoupeau, extending the line that began with the 460 and 510 (both SAIL Top 10 Best Boats winners in 2023 and 2024, respectively) and now also the new 410. ...

Hanse 460 review: First in a new range
The Jefa linkage is light and direct, giving a good feel from the rudder. On the starboard side you can wind down the bifurcated backstay when extra headstay tension is needed. Hanse 460 is from ...
Hanse 548 review: The push-button 50fter that can be sailed by a couple
The Hanse 548 is a cleverly designed boat that evidently presses the right buttons for many people. She's built by a yard that has always done its own thing, setting its own trends and refusing ...
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 460: first test of this luxurious cruiser
What you might loosely call the mainstream European builders of family cruising yachts - the Beneteaus, Jeanneaus, Dufours, Bavarias and Hanses of this world - have been following this path for some time, making each generation of designs bigger and plusher than the last.. For Hanse in particular, it has been a rapid evolution from the small, basic and functional to the large and luxurious ...
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 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 371 review: Different by design
Even though we had to make do with the poorly cut sails on our test boat, the Hanse 371 proved a delight to handle. The Hanse 371 is a lot of boat for the money. She was finger light to steer via ...
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. With an extremely malleable interior (encompassing 72 possible variations) and a vast array of color, fabric and trim options, this is one mass ...
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
In comparison to mainstream production cruising boats, the Hanse 400 is an absolute performance standout, not only in its ability under sail, but in its ease of operation. ****. The Hanse 400 presents the image of a well-trained athlete—strong, capable, and legitimately deserving of its billing as a "crossover" sailboat.
Hanse 588 Review
Hanse 588 Review Courtesy of Hanse Yachts. To my eye, perhaps the cleanest-looking yacht to be introduced in 2018 was the Hanse 588, the second-largest offering from the German builder in a line that now encompasses a range of boats from 31 to 69 feet. Look, I enjoy a clipper bow and sweeping sheer line as much as any traditionalist, but lately ...
Hanse 461 Sailboat Review
The Hanse 461 can't conceal its racing attributes. For performance cruisers, this is a good thing. It didn't take long, that gray, blustery day last fall, for us to realize we had a greyhound by the tail. For a brief time after we'd raised the Hanse 461's sails, the near-plumb-stemmed vessel wallowed unimpressively in the Chesapeake Bay ...
Head to Head: Hanse 348 & Hanse 418
The 348 stood up to her canvas well in up to 20 knots. Credit: Graham Snook. The two boats we chose were the Hanse 348 (Price as tested: £166,804 inc VAT) and Hanse 418 (Price as tested: £254,534 inc VAT) as they hadn't been tested by YM before. Both had the same number of cabins and berths.
Review: Hanse 410, SAIL Top 10 Best Boats 2025 Nominee
The Hanse 410 is a spirited ride. I first saw the new Hanse 410 at the Annapolis spring boat show in April. Like her big sister the 510, which I had sailed the previous fall (a SAIL Top 10 Best Boats winner for 2024), she looked sharky even trussed and fendered to the dock. Her reverse, wave-piercing bow, flat sheer, and gradually sloping, lean ...
Hanse 348
Hanse 348. Built to greet the elements with a smile, the Hanse 348 features a tall rig and sporty sail plan to ensure maximum performance and exceptional seaworthiness. Below deck, three double cabins and a generous number of windows allow you to enjoy a mesmerizing, fresh breeze on this 34-foot yacht.
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 ...
Boat Review: Hanse 505
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. Although the Judel/Vrolijk design team created her as a fast cruiser, at 14 tons dry weight the 505 is no lightweight ...

As once mentioned in a previous sailboat review, the marine survey business at times can acquire occasional random cycles, such as closely spaced survey assignments of the same type and brand of boat.In late 2017 into 2018 I recall inspecting, almost consecutively, at least three late-model Hanse sailboats between 38 and 45 feet.
Book Review: 'Category Five' examines superstorms amid compelling
Books about climate change are a dime a dozen these days, but a new one by Porter Fox, who grew up on the water and whose father built boats for a living, treads new ground, writes Associated Press reviewer Rob Merrill.
Boat Review of Hanse 415 Cruiser
Jun 19, 2013. 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.
