The keel studs pass through the hull and subframe, as well as massive aluminium backing plates to both spread the loadings and ensure exceptional robustness for years to come.<br \/>\nLearn more about Hanse\u2019s build quality features, or read about Inspiration Marine\u2019s visit to the Hanse Yard to discover the build process.<\/p>\n<p>Effortless sporty performance<br \/>\nThe latest Berret-Racoupeau designs continue the tradition that a Hanse owner expects of rarely being overtaken by another cruising yacht. By keeping the waterline as narrow as possible, they cut upwind better than most and with a balance on the helm that others only dream of.<br \/>\nWhat really stands out however is the ease with which you can get the best out of them. Each model has the sail controls right back at the helm position. This allows those who want to sail shorthanded to do so easily and safely, in turn meaning more time on the water enjoying your investment.<br \/>\nThe larger models also come equipped with a permanently rigged twin forestay arrangement, which is almost unheard of on modern cruising yachts. This addition dramatically improves the ease with which the correct sail plan can be selected in accordance with the weather conditions.<br \/>\nUsually the most stressful part of any boating adventure is the return to the marina. You can choose to have your new Hanse specified with a bow thruster and more commonly a stern thruster to really ensure that getting the boat back in the berth and safely tied up is as enjoyable as possible too.<\/p>\n<p>Interior excellence<br \/>\nAs Hanse have their own state of the art furniture building facility, they have complete control over the production and finishing of these elements, which becomes apparent when you look closely at the finished article.<br \/>\nWith an ethos to build each boat as closely as possible to the new owner\u2019s requirements, Hanse have taken the time to develop as many layout versions and options as they can.<br \/>\nThis extends even further to a host of wood finishes for the cabinetry and a handful of flooring combinations, not to mention 30+ upholstery choices. The desire being to allow the owner to create their perfect space.<br \/>\nTrim level upgrades are also available offering such things as leather covered grab rails, upholstery upgrades, beautiful interior blinds and other luxury touches to enhance the quality feel another notch again.<\/p>\n<p>Discover more<br \/>\nWhether you are a first-time owner or a seasoned cruiser, sailing short-handed or with family, the ease of handling and comfort on board every Hanse yacht has to be felt to be believed.<br \/>\nInspiration Marine is the exclusive UK dealer for the award-winning range from Hanse Yachts, with a prime location in the heart of British yachting on the River Hamble.
