NEW Hanse 470e A sailing work of art... One recognises the Hanse 470e as a 'total work of art' even at first glance. This impression is no accident. It has its reasons, and the reasons are in the details. These include the care with which the teak deck is installed. The low-slung coach house gives it an appearance of greater length. The unobtrusive technical equipment takes second place to the joy of sailing. Sailing a Hanse is an onboard experience in the 'lightness of being'. Hanse doesn't believe in unnecessary stress. And women feel especially at home aboard a Hanse, even when engaged in trimming. Such 'easy living' on board has its reasons. The hanse design team includes women, for one thing. But winches with the proper dimensions, the clear deck layout and the hatches installed flush with the deck also play a large part. And if you read on, you will discover everything that is especially significant about the Hanse 470e. The 'e', by the way, stands for 'epoxy', which brings us back to the lightness of sailing a Hanse. The standard design has the halyards running from the blocks on the mast on an electric winch. And the nearly 50 square meter jib is self-tacking. The two wheels also fit right in with the size of the Hanse 470e. The helmsman can stand far to leeward or far to windward to command a better view. There is no steering column to obstruct the path from the stern to the superstructure. The Hanse's trimmable tapered mast with its three spreaders gives your Hanse 470e the appearance of greater speed.
The Hanse 470e also offers you more than one option when it comes to interior fittings. Satin mahogany is the Hanse standard. Cherry is one of the options that the owner may choose. The similar matte facings of the overhead lockers in the navigation area and in the galley go well with the fine satin finish. Cooking on a Hanse takes place in a complete galley, not in the saloon. The sofas are a story unto themselves: Hanse deluxe. Hanse transformed the three-seat sofa on the port side in front of the dining table to include stowage space for your wine. A footrest pulls out of the sofa opposite. Hanse owners do certain things a bit differently. They know, for instance, that when moored stern-to in the Mediterranean, the bow is where it is quiet. And that is precisely where Hanse have put the owner's cabin in the Hanse 470e, along with a private office in the version with a king-size bed. Although the Hanse does not come with a combined wc/shower unit, in its place is a bathroom with Corian surfaces and a seat in the separate shower. Your friends will live astern. Or the children. Or the regatta crew. In any event, this suite in the stern is guaranteed to make anyone feel comfortably at home with its ample headroom and the ease with which it allows one to climb out of the double bed. Here one is not disturbed by a bridge deck. Should you decide to live astern yourself, however, you can only be congratulated on your choice.
The cherry connection... This is how the Hanse 470e looks in the version with the cherry interior. The choice of wood is not the only element on board this Hanse that is left to taste. The culinary possibilities on board a Hanse are also worth taking a closer look. Hanse have assigned the galley its own area, and at the center of the motion in the hull. There you will also find the navigation area - opposite. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
