Hanse has switched to the French design office, Berret Racoupeau, with their new Hanse 460 and features a particularly clever hull shapeFollowing a generation of Judel\/Vrolijk designs, the new Hanse 460 is the first from Berret Racoupeau, which will surprise many as it forces closer comparison with French production yachts such as the Beneteau Oceanis range.
\nThe French design studio won the pitch for the 460 by drawing a clever hull shape that combines all round performance with a versatile interior and cockpit. The inclusion of fore and aft chines, and a clever stern shape, all help the transition from a narrow waterline to a highly voluminous hull for the accommodation.
\nThe Hanse 460 features a single rudder, a tall rig and keel options, while Hanse\u2019s renowned easy handling has been retained. It\u2019s a yacht with options galore, namely 48 layout configurations, from owner\u2019s set-up to a charter yacht with 10 berths and three bathrooms.
\nIn addition to the standard self-tacking jib, a 105% genoa and a 145% reaching genoa on a second stay are also available. The cockpit can have an optional glassfibre bimini and wetbar with barbecue aft.
\nA replacement for the popular Hanse 458, the Hanse 460 has already met phenomenal success, with over 150 sold. The price here is actually for those wanting a 460 in 2024, so you will have to be patient if you do want to get your hands on this latest offering from Hanse.

\nLOA: 14.60m 47ft 11in
