The new Hanse 415 is not an upgraded version of the 400 model, but a completely new and independent concept for a state-of-the-art, fast cruising yacht with many surprising details and functions. Apart from excellent sailing characteristics, the 415 has an extended waterline and modern hull design with the increased width, especially in the rear. This allows a better use of a space below and on decks including a spacious, safe and comfortable cockpit with a wide passage to the large and foldable bathing platform. Hanse 415 can be easily handled by two people as all the sail controls are lead back to the main winches next to the helms and because of the self tacking jib system.
