2012 Hanse 385, 140.000 EUR

Some sailboats stand out for a particular feature, while others work well as a complete package. This 2012 Hanse 385 clearly belongs to the latter group. It combines straightforward sailing, a highly usable cockpit, twin steering wheels, a self-tacking jib, a three-cabin interior layout and a particularly comprehensive level of cruising equipment.

This boat is equipped with a 40 hp Volvo Penta engine with approximately 1,650 hours, a Simrad autopilot, B&G electronics, radar, depth sounder, AIS, solar panels, VHF, television, microwave, oven, an eight-person liferaft and a sail inventory that goes well beyond the usual, including a self-tacking jib, asymmetric spinnaker and Code 0.

In addition, the owner recently updated the mainsail system, replacing the battens with a track-and-car system, a particularly useful improvement that makes hoisting and lowering easier.

The result is a well-balanced used sailboat for anyone looking to sail as a couple or family, with autonomy, good accommodation and handling designed to make sailing simpler.

ABOUT THIS HANSE 385

Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co., the Hanse 385 was conceived as a modern cruiser offering a good balance of performance, ease of handling and interior volume. The original model specification gives an approximate overall length of 11.40 m, hull length of 10.99 m, beam of 3.88 m, displacement of approximately 7.6 tonnes, fuel tank of around 160 litres and fresh water capacity of around 300 litres. The model's design category is CE A – Ocean.

This particular boat has the three-cabin and one-bathroom version, a particularly practical layout for family cruising. The cockpit with twin steering positions, folding bathing platform and large central table provides a spacious outdoor area, while below deck there is a bright saloon, a fully equipped galley and several storage spaces.

WHY THIS BOAT STANDS OUT

This Hanse 385 is particularly interesting because it retains one of the model's main strengths: the ability to sail with a small crew without giving up genuine interior volume.

The self-tacking jib, twin steering wheels and centralised controls simplify tacking and handling the boat. Added to this is a much more complete sail setup than usual, with an asymmetric spinnaker and Code 0, considerably expanding the possibilities for sailing downwind and in light winds.

Below deck, its three cabins, large saloon, fully equipped galley, bathroom and ample storage make it a genuinely practical cruising boat. The solar panels, AIS, radar, autopilot and B&G / Simrad electronics complete a package designed for sailing, not simply for staying in the marina.

FONTNAUTIC'S VIEW

At Fontnautic, the Hanse 385 represents the evolution of the modern cruiser very well: a relatively easy-to-handle boat with a spacious cockpit and an interior layout that makes use of practically every available metre.

For this boat, we particularly like the combination of the 40 hp Volvo Penta, self-tacking jib, mainsail upgrade, asymmetric spinnaker, Code 0 and comprehensive electronics package. We also value the solar panels and Victron system, as these are upgrades that make practical sense when using the boat.

This is more than just a comfortable boat for spending a few days on board. Its layout, autonomy and equipment make it an excellent fit for anyone looking for a used sailboat of around 38 feet for coastal cruising, the Balearics or longer passages, with room for family or guests and handling simple enough for regular sailing as a couple.
