Hanseyachts: Greifswald launches new 575Photo: Werft
Lots of windows, lots of edges, lots of boat: Hanses Neue, the second largest in the line
The ship combines old brand values with new ideas and is also intended to serve the charter market. It is also comparatively favourable

She gets a self-tacking jib, the halyards and the most important sheets can be operated from the two wheels - of course. And the otherwise open stern has a hatch, which is also nothing new. Underneath, however, things get fun: the dinghy garage swallows an almost three-metre-long rib with a permanently installed jet drive, which should be able to reach 42 knots and carry three people. Furthermore, the two cockpit tables can be lowered electronically and converted into a sunbathing area. Also new: the Hanse is actively offered with a furling mast.

Up to six cabins can be installed below deck, but three are also possible. The buyer can choose between three types of veneer, three types of floorboards, various upholstery fabrics and nine colours for the outer skin. The pantry is installed lengthways. The price is worth mentioning: 403,000 euros - which is significantly cheaper than the direct competition.
