Hanse 545 – A rare gem designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co, this particular example has had a total of three owners and has been continuously updated and upgraded.
This unique Hanse 545, a rarity on the Danish market, is designed as a performance sailing yacht with uncompromising comfort. Built by the renowned Hanse Yacht shipyard, this yacht combines elegant design with exceptional sailing performance.
The yacht has a modern look with its spacious cockpit, twin rudders, and a large fold-out swim platform. The stylish skylights and large hull windows ensure fantastic natural light, while the technical solutions guarantee superb handling. The boat’s layout provides comfortable accommodations for up to six people in three double berths. The captain’s cabin, located at the bow, has its own toilet and shower, while two spacious guest cabins are located aft.
The galley is located on the starboard side near the entrance and is extremely well-equipped with two refrigerators, two freezers, a 3-burner gas stove with oven, a microwave, and ample counter and storage space. To port is a navigation area that also contains two additional refrigerators, while a toilet with a shower is located further aft. The salon’s layout features both an L-shaped sofa with a table on the port side and a comfortable sofa on the starboard side, creating a cozy atmosphere on board.
A distinctive feature of the Hanse series is the self-tacking jib, which comes standard. All lines are routed to the helmsman, making it possible to sail the boat with a small crew without leaving the cockpit. This model is also equipped with both bow and stern thrusters, making the boat incredibly easy to maneuver and handle. The cockpit is designed with comfort in mind and features custom-tailored cockpit cushions, two daybeds under the large sprayhood, and a large sunbed at the bow.
