This 2015 Hanse 505 Ciao Bella is an impressive example of one of Hanse's most popular performance cruisers. Known for her modern lines, powerful sail plan, and easy handling, she offers the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and safety, equally at home on the racecourse or Bluewater cruising. Currently optimised for competitive sailing, she is set up in heavy race mode with fine-tuned deck hardware and a high-performance sail inventory. Step below deck and you'll find the trademark Hanse interior, with a spacious saloon, 3 spacious cabins, a good-sized galley to port, and a generous navigation station. This yacht represents the best of both worlds: race-winning performance with family-cruising comfort. Whether you plan to compete in regattas, set off on coastal passages, or entertain at anchor, this Hanse 505 can do it all.
