The Hanse 455 is a fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse Yachts from 2014–2017. With a displacement of 25574.0 lb and a beam of 14.37 ft, it represents a modern cruising yacht with a build count of ? hulls.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, well-equipped liveaboard, evidenced by the high frequency of bow thruster (41), bimini (12), and solar panel (6) installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.95 and a comfort ratio of 27.47, the Hanse 455 is suitable for coastal and nearshore cruising but lacks the heavy displacement typically preferred for extreme bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other modern European fractional sloops from the mid-2010s with similar beam-to-length ratios and interior volume, such as the Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 or Dufour 460.
