The Hanse 460 combines easy sailing with easy living, making for an all-around simple, luxurious package. All the sailhandling can be done from the twin helms via a single set of winches, keeping the rest of the cockpit clear for entertaining or stretching out in. The option of a second set of winches is also available, as is electric furling. The comparatively large sail area and Berret-Racoupeau-designed hull work together to optimize stability and performance. Swapping out the self-tacking jib for a 105 percent Genoa will boost your speed even more while going with the optional furling reacher on a second forestay will be great for improving upwind and reaching performance in lighter air. Belowdecks, the 460 is available with a wealth of layout options that can be easily mixed and matched in accordance with each owner’s sailing style.
