Hanseyachts: Germany's largest series yacht is here
SADK<ÄCSK
Pre-Christmas joy in Greifswald: The Hanse 675 was craned into the Ryck on schedule. First impressions of a superlative

She is not only large, but also tall, voluminous, wide and impressive. The Judel/Vrolijk design shows typical Hanseatic DNA with a rather angular design language and large hull windows. But with this boat, everything has been taken one step further. The largest production boat ever built in Germany is thus a step ahead of the mega yacht scene and lies between the worlds.

Meanwhile: The shipyard is outdoing itself. The very successful Hanse 630 was already the largest production yacht in Germany. For international comparison: Hanseyachts is also the world leader, no other large series shipyard offers yachts of this calibre. Jeanneau's largest, for example, is a 64 and Beneteau comes with a 62.
