The model year 2010-2011 will be a year of big news from Hanse of Greifswald, Germany. We will present some new yachts with surprising details, smooth lines and of course with the well known typical Hanse sailing performance. All new models, like always designed by Judel-Vrolijk & Co, will be more comfortable and present trendy ideas for easier sailing and living on board. The new Hanse models will have an increased volume, stronger sailing abilities, and will present a new step of the legendary Hanse interior design.
Creating new models at Hanse is a parallel cooperation process between the design office Judel-Vrolijk & Co, our own engineering-department and boat builders using the latest 3 DL-design programs. It feeds our own 5-axes milling centre to produces very accurate modules and moulds in a very short time and allows us to have the series production running quickly and without problems.
The new Hanse 445:
The designers of Judel-Vrolijk and our own developing department had to create a boat that offers more volume and comfort for the crew. As well they had to further optimise the easy handling of this 44 foot boat. The new Hanse 445 connects the model range of 320 to 400 with the bigger models 470, 545 and 630. The interior follows the trendy loft style layout of the Hanse 545 with modern yacht furniture design and optimizes the use of living space.
