Hanse 348: a new bestseller?
Hanseyachts completes the revision of the series with the second smallest yacht - and presents a boat suitable for the masses without any surprises

The boat is the successor to the Hanse 345 and should score points with more sail area and many small improvements. In addition, the Judel/Vrolijk design has been visually integrated more strongly into the type series; there should no longer be any major stylistic differences between the large and small boats.

Modern lines: wide rear with flap, lots of volume

The Hanse 348 proved to be a strong sailor in the test: balanced with light pressure on the rudder, stiff even when heeled heavily and easy to call up the good speeds. With a self-tacking jib and halyards, sheets and outhaul led completely aft, the boat is also suitable for single-handed sailing and well suited for a small crew. Test coming soon in YACHT.
