OWNER’S COMMENTS:

“I am the third owner of the yacht. According to what I learned from the previous owner I purchased from, the yacht was never used by her first owner and remained docked at the marina. I have also only used her as a private boat and with the benefit of a Professional Skipper”

MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:

“Designed by judel/vrolijk & co, the world’s most successful yacht designers, the HANSE 575 is the perfect cruising yacht. The designers have, of course, satisfied our standards of offering the fastest cruising yacht in its class.”

PRESS REVIEW:

When I went aboard the new Hanse 575 at the Southampton Boat Show, there was a couple in their mid-40s sitting in the saloon looking comfortably at home discussing the optional gadgets. “How does the flatscreen TV lift up?” the man asked. “How big is it? 46in? That’s impressive!” He nodded as if that had just swung his decision to place a deposit.

This voluminous new German cruiser is aimed at just such couples, who want comfortable and easy sailing. But, having needed steps that Nelson would be proud of on the plinth of his statue just to get aboard, I was more concerned about the height.

So high is this yacht inside that – I kid you not – there are step ladders provided in the aft cabins to reach the hatches!

There’s no doubt that such high freeboard creates luxurious space below, hence it feels as if your money is going further. It adds more light and ventilation, and makes the boat potentially drier to sail.
In Hanse’s case, it also helps make the coachroof appear low and sleek, and, exclusively for the Hanse 575, her freeboard height creates room for a jet tender to stow in the transom.

…Once out in the salty elements, the Hanse 575 proved she’s not just about volume and gimmicks. I was glad there were only two of us aboard, as it proved to me she is actually a very capable boat and indeed manageable by a couple.

Everything, including halyards, is led aft to a winch beside the wheels, so sails can be set and trimmed single-handedly.

…I was very impressed with the Jefa linkage, which felt particularly pleasant on optional carbon wheels. This chain-to-wire system felt direct, and communicated the Hanse 575’s 20 tonnes of displacement and tall rig power well.

She obeyed the helm quickly, and steering from far aft proved a joy, especially off the breeze where it was possible to play the small waves.

The 575 feels like a stiff boat. Despite carrying plenty of sail, including a large main, she is well-balanced by both displacement and ballast in a performance T-keel as standard, hence she stood up well to the wind and maintained good average speeds.

…Broad-reaching at 135°-150° apparent against the ebb, we rarely made less than double figures and it was easy to coax her onto waves and play them up to 11 knots. This is where the 575’s 50ft of waterline comes in, making her an efficient passagemaker.

…She is built in sandwich with a balsa core and vinylester resin for lightness and strength, and there’s enough volume and depth to her forward sections to stop her slamming in a short chop.

…Comfort at the helm is good, especially when seated outboard with uninterrupted views over the low coachroof. Plotter and instruments are to hand. Meanwhile, crew can relax in a huge cockpit devoid of sailing hardware and sheets.

Below decks, key features are the shallow companionway and a double set of flush hatches above the saloon, which give ample light. In our three-cabin layout, having three en-suite heads certainly gave an aura of luxury.”
