Announced 5 months ago, the Hanse 360, the 4th model in the new line designed by Berret-Racoupeau, will be unveiled at the Cannes Boat Show in September 2024. This cruising yacht, designed to facilitate solo sailing, offers generous, customizable interior spaces.

A chine hull to maximize interior space

Hanse Yachts reveals a little more about its new 36-foot sailing yacht, the Hanse 360. This model is the most compact in the new line designed by Berret Racoupeau. The hull features the now-typical chines for stability and performance. Located in the bow and stern, they maximize hull width to provide ample interior space. The reduced waterline should ensure high hull speed.

Making solo sailing easier

To make navigation easier, all the ends are brought back to the helm stations, facilitating single-handed sailing. Fitted on each side, each helm station has a fold-down seat to close the cockpit (an option), and all winches are positioned close together. As an option, a winch can be installed on the coaming for the headsails. A storage area for the BIB is easily accessible and easy to open from the cockpit, positioned behind the helm station.

Owners can choose between a classic stainless steel cockpit table or a fiberglass table with integrated stainless steel refrigerator. The optional barbecue between the two steering wheels can be used at a convenient standing height on the bathing platform. Once the hood is closed, it provides additional seating.

Several rig and sail options

The Hanse 360 has a sail area of 66 m2 upwind and 169 m2 downwind. The optional delphinière with integrated davit allows the rigging of a gennaker or other asymmetric spinnaker. A "performance" rig version offers a larger sail area, with a horn mainsail offering 6 m2 more than the standard mainsail. Optional electric winches facilitate maneuvering, as does the self-tacking jib. High-performance SPS Sustainable Performance sails from Elvstrøm are available as an option, mainly made from recycled materials.
