About the HANSE 320
Disp. 1700 kg/3747 lbs.
The Hanse 320 is a fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 2004. This model features a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a beam of 10.83 ft, reflecting a design focused on performance and interior volume.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize interior space and modern sailing dynamics over heavy offshore endurance. Its fractional rig and relatively light displacement make it well-suited for active weekend cruising and short-handed sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 11464.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.92, the Hanse 320 is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate comfort ratio of 25.15 suggest it is best suited for protected waters and shorter offshore trips.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 32 and the Bavaria 32, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-oriented hull forms. These models offer similar interior layouts and target the same market of sailors seeking a balance between speed and comfort.
