Hanse 385

Hanse 385 is the 4th new model out of the new Hanse family of Hanse dynamic cruisers, characterised by optimum space efficiency and comfort from an 11m hull as well as outstanding cruising performance. Within the standard equipment, you’ll get two steering wheels in the cockpit, a fold-down stern boarding platform, optimum deck gear distribution and a self-tacking jib. Spacious and functional interior and safe and enjoyable exterior make Hanse 385 a desirable yacht for sailors appreciating fast cruising and comfortable accommodation.

PRESS REVIEW:

'Hanse Yachts builds performance-oriented yachts at affordable prices, all designed by Judel and Vrolijk. Hanse’s current sailboat range incorporates a great many practical innovations suggested by previous owners, and the 385 is a very different boat from its predecessor, the 375. More akin to the Hanse 445, 495 and 545, the Hanse 385 boasts twin helms and a drop-down stern platform. She also has improved sailing performance and a sleek, clutter-free deck with flush hatches and hidden control lines.....'

'CONCLUSION
The 385 is a sensibly designed yacht full of practical innovations that can only have been created by someone who knows exactly what it’s like to go cruising under sail. Though she’s not exactly traditional in the classic sense, for a modern boat built to a price, she is surprisingly well thought through and is a sparkling performer under sail.'
