The Hanse 345 is a fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse Yachts from 2012–2017. With a displacement of 13669.0 lb and a beam of 11.48 ft, this model represents a performance-oriented coastal cruiser, though the exact number of hulls built is not specified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern sailing performance over heavy offshore endurance. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a comfortable, easy-to-handle package for sheltered waters and short passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 198.43 and a capsize ratio of 1.92, the Hanse 345 is designed for coastal cruising rather than serious bluewater passagemaking. Its relatively light displacement and fin keel configuration prioritize speed and handling in moderate conditions over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 34.7 and the Bavaria 36, which share similar fractional rig configurations and performance-focused hull forms from the same era. These models offer similar interior layouts and sailing characteristics, making them direct competitors in the mid-30ft performance cruiser market.
