The new boat from Hanseyachts was eagerly awaited. The new boat should impress with a new cockpit concept, particularly on deck, and make the outdoor area more usable in all weathers with a fixed roof. The cockpit of the new Hanse is covered by a hardtop, the fixed GRP section of which is a whopping 18 square metres in size. One part can be closed with fabric panels. The roof of the Hanse is shaped in such a way that nobody has to bend over when going forward. The wires of the backstay tackle are positioned further forward and run through the roof. The mainsheet sits on the targa bracket, with which the hardtop ends at the front. Many innovations also affect the area under the top, where solar cells with a total output of 1,330 WP can be accommodated.
Hanse now also with walkaround cockpit
The cockpit is designed as a walkaround, which makes it easy to walk on deck and enables very ergonomic working on the front winches. This is where the halyards and some outhauls run. The sheets are led further aft to the helmsman. The helmsman can lounge comfortably in his upholstered seats, with additional chaise longues installed in front of the pillars, which the shipyard calls Meridienne Seats. The areas next to the companionway, which are free of halyards and winches, are fitted with large Plexiglas panes that can be opened electrically, allowing plenty of air and light into the aft saloon and aft compartments.
The dinghy garage is located in front of the 4.2 square metre tailgate, from which a convenient fold-out staircase with railings and wide steps leads into the water. A 3.10 metre long dinghy can be stowed in the garage and swung out using the crane arm. Above this is a wet bar, whose grill is raised to a practical working height by a gas pressure spring.
Comfort like on land
Below deck, the shipyard offers three to five cabins and three to four heads. The spacious galley of the Hanse 590 is positioned in an L-shape on the port side and at the bulkhead. The centrepiece is a full-height refrigerator with three compartments, two of which can be set up as a freezer or refrigerator compartment. There is also a dishwasher, a double induction hob in addition to the oven, a microwave and a wine fridge. The aforementioned solar cells, 4x 200 Ah rechargeable batteries as standard, a generator and a fuel cell cover the power requirements. The Hanse can be equipped with retractable bow and stern thrusters.
