Hanse 315 Modern performance cruiser

2022 HANSE 315 - Modern performance cruiser - easy to sail short handed

Professional bespoke sail training package available for new owner

A beautifully presented, late-model performance cruiser combining effortless short-handed sailing with an exceptionally spacious interior.

The Hanse 315 is a yacht designed to make sailing simple. Whether you are buying your first cruising yacht, looking for something easily handled as a couple, or downsizing from a larger boat, this 2022 example offers an appealing combination of performance, comfort and manageable size.

One of the standout features of the Hanse 315 is just how easily she can be sailed short-handed. The self-tacking jib removes the need to handle sheets when tacking, while the running rigging is led aft to the cockpit. Combined with twin helm stations and a clean, uncluttered deck layout, this is a yacht that can comfortably be managed by one or two people without sacrificing sailing performance.

Under sail, the Hanse 315 is light, responsive and rewarding to helm. A set of Quantum Dacron sails provides an uncomplicated and durable sail plan equally suited to relaxed cruising or making the most of a good afternoon breeze.

COCKPIT & DECK
The twin-wheel configuration gives the cockpit an open, contemporary feel and provides excellent access through the centre of the boat. Flexiteek decking adds a smart finish while avoiding much of the ongoing maintenance associated with traditional teak. The result is a cockpit that works equally well underway, sailing short-handed or simply relaxing at anchor.

ACCOMMODATION
Below deck, Hanse has made excellent use of the available space. The bright, contemporary saloon is complemented by a spacious aft cabin and forward V berth, making the boat particularly well suited to couples, a small family or weekends away with friends.

The saloon incorporates a folding dining table with seating for up to six, while the practical galley includes black quartz-style benchtops, a two-burner gas stove and oven, and a generous refrigerator.

A particularly impressive feature for a yacht of this size is the spacious separate bathroom / head, adding considerably to the comfort of extended weekends and coastal cruising.

ENGINE & SYSTEMS
Auxiliary power is provided by a 21hp Yanmar diesel with approximately 312 hours, coupled to a sail drive and folding propeller.
Onboard systems include a 20-litre hot-water system and 160Ah house battery capacity, providing the essentials for comfortable cruising away from the marina.

NAVIGATION & ELECTRONICS
The yacht is equipped with a comprehensive B&G electronics package, including:
o Chart plotter
o Autopilot
o Wind instruments
o Depth and speed
o VHF radio
o AIS
This is a particularly useful specification for an owner intending to cruise or sail short-handed.

RECENT MAINTENANCE
The yacht has recently undergone key routine maintenance, including engine and sail drive servicing, antifouling, Prop speed and replacement anodes.
She is well equipped and ready for her next owner to step aboard and start enjoying.

A 2.2m Takacat tender with Thruster 2hp electric outboard and additional battery is also available by separate negotiation.

NEW TO SAILING? WE CAN HELP.
This Hanse 315 could also be an excellent opportunity for someone who has been considering yacht ownership but doesn't yet have the experience or confidence to make the move.

Through Oceanwest RYA sailing school / SW Boat school, we can offer the new owner a tailored training package, taking you from the fundamentals of yacht handling through to confidently sailing, manoeuvring and managing your own boat.

Training can be structured around your existing experience and can include sailing and sail handling, berthing and marina manoeuvres, anchoring, navigation, safety and short-handed techniques.

It means you don't necessarily need years of sailing experience before buying your own yacht -- we can help you develop the skills and confidence to enjoy her properly.

A VERY COMPLETE 31-FOOT CRUISER
At just over 31 feet, the Hanse 315 occupies a particularly attractive position. She is small enough to be economical to own and straightforward to handle, yet provides the accommodation, equipment and sailing characteristics expected from a much more substantial cruising yacht.

For a couple wanting a modern yacht they can confidently sail themselves, a family looking for a capable weekender, an experienced sailor wanting something newer and easier to manage, or someone looking to begin their journey into yacht ownership, this 2022 Hanse 315 deserves serious consideration.
