Hanse 315

The 315 proves that a small yacht does not have to feel like a compromise. She is a judel/vrolijk design, so she sails properly, and the self-tacking jib means you can put in a dozen tacks up a river without ever leaving the helm. The cockpit is wide and open with twin wheels, and the transom folds down to give you a swim platform at anchor. Below, there are two genuine double cabins, a separate head with a shower, and a saloon that feels far bigger than the waterline length suggests. Choose the deeper L-keel if you want the extra pointing ability, or the shallow keel at 1.35 m if you cruise the sandbanks and creeks. A first yacht that owners tend to keep far longer than they planned. As the Hanse Group agent for Queensland, we can put together a personalised quote, send you the full specification brochure, or talk through the options that suit the way you sail.
