The optional bowsprit expands sailing options, providing more power on the water, while the performance rig with a larger sail area enhances overall performance.
The yacht’s hydrodynamic design, featuring a slim waterline and wide hull, ensures a high hull speed and maximum interior space. The well-designed helm station, with optional folding seats and secondary winch, offers full control in every situation, making the Hanse 360 a versatile and reliable choice for sailors.
Interior Flexibility
Below deck, the Hanse 360 offers an intelligent arrangement of up to 16 opening hatches and windows, ensuring maximum light and ventilation. With 12 possible layout combinations, the yacht can be tailored to individual preferences. The large owner’s cabin can be equipped with its own bathroom, while the aft cabin options include either two comfortable cabins or a combination of an aft cabin and a large storage space.
The spacious saloon accommodates up to eight people at a large table, available in two versions, and the L-shaped galley meets all culinary needs. Additional fridges provide up to 192 litres of cooling capacity, and a navigation table is also included.
