About the HANSE 411
Data above is from builder's documentation. We found an early brochure showing a displacement of 9,200 kg / 20,283 lbs and ballast of 3,270 kg / 7,209 lbs, Optional shoal keel: draft - 1.55m / 5.08ft Later boats were equipped with Yanmar diesels Model 4JH3C, 56 hp.
The Hanse 411 is a fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse Yachts between 2001 and 2006. With a displacement of 21385.0 lb and a beam of 13.29 ft, this vessel represents a performance-oriented cruising platform from the early 2000s.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize interior volume and sailing dynamics over heavy offshore ruggedness. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a comfortable, modern layout with ample storage.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 21385.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.92, the Hanse 411 is capable of coastal and nearshore passages but is generally considered less robust for extended bluewater voyaging compared to heavier displacement designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 40.7 and the Bavaria 40, which share similar fractional rig configurations and interior volume philosophies from the same era. These models offer similar performance metrics and cabin layouts, making them direct competitors in the 40-foot performance cruiser segment.
