Standard with tiller: Hanse 315
With the 315, the Greifswald shipyard is relaunching its smallest boat. The Judel/Vrolijk design is intended to emphasise sailing again

Around 71,000 euros ready to sail for a 9.10 metre long boat is very affordable. Although the basic version is offered with a tiller, for example, and not with wheels. This saves money on the one hand, but also fulfils the motto of more active sailing fun. This is also ensured by an enlarged sail area and the typical Hansa deck layout with halyards, sheets and outhauls leading up to the helmsman. A self-tacking jib is also still standard.

The interior is open to the front in the basic version, but the forward cabin can be separated for an extra charge. Two types of berth are available there. Two people sleep aft across the centreline. The Hanse 315 is finished in mahogany or optionally in cherry or oak. The ship is due to make its debut at the autumn trade fairs.
