PLAN & OVERVIEW
Our Hanse 400 offers superb performance in a comfortable 3 stateroom, 2 head interior. The Hanse was Boat of the Year in 2006. Our Hanse 400 is based in Athens for 2010 but can be sailed from many places, and offers quality European design and workmanship. She has an extremely elegant, light and modern interior, beautiful woodwork and comfortable heads and a spacious toilet with separate shower cubical.
Sailing performance is her most notable feature, with a large main that can be effectively reefed, and a self-tacking headsail for incredibly easy handling. She is an easy large boat that really sails well. She is perhaps the only boat of her size where all the sheets can be trimmed from the helm, allowing one person to sail her with ease. Let your crew do what they enjoy, while you enjoy the feel of the roller bearing steering system with fingertip control In general, the Hanse is easy to sail and very comfortable.
As a reference from a skipper who sailed the Hanse 400 many times: A great sailing yacht, the 40ft Hanse which is a top boat to sail and not comparable with the average charter boat.
