About the HANSE 588
Shallow keel: 2.25m/7.42'
The Hanse 588 is a modern fractional sloop designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co. and built by Hanse Yachts, with production records indicating a start year of 2017. This vessel combines performance-oriented dimensions, including a 56.43 ft LOA and 17.06 ft beam, with a displacement of 50265.0 lb, positioning it as a substantial cruising yacht in the Hanse lineup.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a performance-oriented day sailor or weekend cruiser, given its fractional rig and relatively light displacement for its size. It is less suited for heavy bluewater expeditions due to its design priorities, making it ideal for owners who prioritize sailing dynamics and modern interior layouts over heavy offshore ruggedness.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.85 and a displacement of 50265.0 lb, the Hanse 588 offers moderate offshore stability, though its fin keel and performance-focused design suggest it is best suited for coastal and nearshore passages rather than extreme bluewater conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 58 and the Dufour 525, as they share similar production eras, fractional rig configurations, and a focus on performance cruising. These models also feature comparable beam widths and interior volume, appealing to buyers looking for modern, spacious yachts with efficient sail plans.
