About the HANSE 445
Re-design in 2013 (not shown).
The Hanse 445 is a fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse Yachts (GER) in 2010, with an unknown total hull count. It features a displacement of 24251.0 lb and a beam of 14.37 ft, positioning it as a performance-oriented cruiser from the early 2010s.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern sailing dynamics, as evidenced by the high frequency of dodger, bimini, and bow thruster installations for comfort and handling.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.99 and a D/L ratio of 168.78, the Hanse 445 is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy offshore passage making, lacking the heavy displacement and full keel stability of dedicated bluewater boats.
- Comparables:
- It compares to other Judel/Vrolijk designs from the same era, such as the Hanse 415 or Beneteau First 44.7, sharing similar fractional rigging, fin keel configurations, and a focus on interior space over traditional bluewater displacement.
