The German giant has revamped its entry-level model to produce the 325, but how does she perform on the water? Chris Beeson finds out

Product Overview

Manufacturer:, price as reviewed:.

What’s she like to sail? Windermere’s surroundings are truly breathtaking, reminiscent of the best scenery Scotland has to offer, and the lake’s shores are studded with dazzling homes owned by admirals of industry, making it feel like a Sandbanks of the North. Unfortunately, during our test, the soporific air wheezed nothing more than a languid three to five knots – and it was shifty, too. These factors combined to reveal little about the Hanse’s performance. With tanks and lockers empty we peaked at four knots upwind and that was as lively as she was likely to get. Her sail area : displacement ratio hints at a fair amount of power – not dissimilar to the jaunty Hallberg-Rassy 310. She has decent waterline length but displaces around 15 per cent more than the HR310 and about the same as the Bavaria 32 Cruiser, which means she’ll be fairly relaxed in performance terms, putting her very much into the family cruising bracket. She will be an easily handled cruiser in conditions between Force 3 and Force 6. What’s she like in port and at anchor? Bearing in mind she’s a 32-footer, having at least 5ft 10in headroom throughout is great news and will be appreciated by most people. The saloon is very well-lit, and would be brighter still if Hanse hadn’t ditched the hull ports, but the extra stowage that replaces them is certainly useful in the saloon. You could fashion a sea berth out of one or other of the saloon seats, should you want to sail longer passages. Berths in the fore and aft cabins are a decent size; stowage is good, but you might want to change the locker latches. She has a decent galley with great ventilation and you’ll get six people around the saloon table. A sink or stove cover might solve the lack of work space but, other than that, she is perfectly functional and has plenty of stowage. Up on deck you might want to go for the option of a folding wheel, which would allow you to walk through to the bathing platform without hopping onto the seating. Generally, it’s a fine set-up apart, perhaps, from the rather small cockpit table. Would she suit you and your crew? She’s not a performance cruiser, so if you are interested in more than the odd bit of club racing, look elsewhere. If you’re planning to run the North West Passage, again, she’s not the boat for you. If, however, you like coastal hopping, with uncomplicated sailing from marina to anchorage to mooring and back, daysailing, weekends away or even a full week’s cruising (and you’re not prepared to compromise your in-port comfort standards too greatly), then the Hanse 325 is a very appealing prospect. She’s also great value for a new boat and, being both very easily managed and comfortable, I see her going down very well with couples and young families looking for some relaxing and simple cruising. You don’t need to be hugely experienced to handle her, and her engine, though small, handles the size of prop well, enabling good manoeuvrability. The cockpit is comfortable with excellent views forward and the instruments and winches are nicely placed to be within easy reach. She’s also designed to take a gennaker, which would improve her downwind performance, especially in light airs. The Hanse 325 is certain to introduce many new sailors to the Hanse brand – and in that respect particularly, she’s surely destined to be a great success.

Broker's comments.

The Hanse 325 is a performance cruiser with all good looks. This particular one is little used and well equipped with new navigation equipment, sprayhood and Lazy bag. Suggestions from former Hanse owners were taken into account when Judel & Vrolijk designed and Hanse Yachts built the 325. That includes; a cockpit with more seating area for the crew and a self-tacking jib. With her two cabin layout, side opening windows and two flush hatches She offers lots of light and ventilation.

Hanse 325 – A Younger Sister of the Smallest Hanse

Hanse Yachts management decided to create the successor of the smallest yacht in their range – Hanse 315. So the renowned naval architects studio Judel/Vrolijk & Co. has been chosen again to create Hanse 325 . It is a classical Hanse yacht refreshed with some novelties which became standard on bigger Hanse models.

Although it is a small boat, which length over all amounts to 9.62 m and beam of 3.30 m, the designers managed to put her external lines in an elegant harmony . The cockpit is rather small, with pedestal equipped with a single steering wheel, GPS plotter, compass and engine commands. The transom is foldable so it can provide easy access to the small swimming platform at the stern.

Trimming the sails is easy, even for a single person thanks to a self-tacking jib system while other trimming controls are put nearby the pedestal.

The power of the engine is 18 HP which is just enough for maneuvering and short distance motoring. The fuel tank has a capacity of 90 l while fresh water tank holds as much as 240 l. Considering her purpose – coastal and lake sailing; Hanse 325 is available in two options regarding the keel which draft ranges between 1.53 m and 1.84 m.

The interior is also organized in a simple way but comfortable enough for a crew of four. They can be accommodated in two cabins with two double beds. The galley is rather small and there is just enough space for small dining table, navigation table and two sofas in the saloon. However, there is a spacious storage astern , which proved to be very useful on such a yacht. I am sure that small yachts such as Hanse 325 should not be underestimated only because of its size.

I wish you a calm sea, a fine wind and a strong mast!

Sailboat Review: Hanse 510

• By Herb McCormick
• October 22, 2024

Fifty years ago this month, the first issue of Cruising World magazine debuted at the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland. It was an ideal time to launch a cruising and sailing periodical, as a revolution in production fiberglass boatbuilding was underway. Huge numbers of sailors were eager to purchase new boats, and the choices in size, price and purpose were plentiful. 

Sure, there were lots of imports on the market, especially from France and the Far East, but there were plenty of great boats born in the USA. The builders and their brands were practically synonymous: Hunter (Warren Luhrs), Catalina (Frank Butler), Morgan Yachts (Charley Morgan), Irwin Yachts (Ted Irwin), Pearson (Bill Shaw), Sabre (Roger Hewson), Shannon Yachts (Walter Schulz), and on and on.

Why bring all this up? Well, of all those companies, only Catalina still builds sailboats, and in limited sizes and numbers. All those other former household maritime names are little more than fond memories. The once-powerful US production-sailboat industry has basically ceased to exist. 

But cruising remains as ­alluring as ever—nature abhors a vacuum—and several of the production-boat builders that have filled it are conglomerates aimed at serving the nautical masses. 

One of the most notable, with a trio of popular lines (Hanse, Dehler and Moody), is Hanse Yachts AG, the German manufacturing colossus based on the Baltic Sea. This past fall, in our annual Boat of the Year competition , we tested their latest offering to the US market, the Hanse 510. It’s a rangy, state-of-the-art marvel that on many levels will never be confused with your basic Catalina 30. 

In contemporary cruising boats, some five decades down the track, the names aren’t the only things that have changed. One huge difference? The relative cost. Of the 19 nominees in the 2024 Boat of the Year fleet, over a third sported price tags at over a million bucks, including the Hanse 510.

From a design perspective, the 510 represents a new direction for Hanse. For many years, the Judel/Vrolijk design office was the firm’s principal naval architecture firm. But in 2021, Hanse handed the keys to the French team of Berret-Racoupeau. They delivered the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Hanse 460, with more than 230 boats sold.  

“The next logical step,” says US Hanse importer Doug Brophy, “was to replace our 508 with the 510. The 508 originated with the Hanse 490 and then went through a series of facelifts. We decided not to do facelifts anymore, but to develop a new boat with a new launch. And I think it would be harder to find a larger cockpit on a 50-foot boat than this one.”

Berret-Racoupeau has become a major force in the industry, with a client list that includes most of the top French and European catamaran and monohull builders. In a way, they’ve become a 21st-century Gallic version of Nathanael Herreshoff. However, where Capt. Nat generally reveled in rounded curves, low freeboard and overhanging sterns, the Frenchmen opt for hard angles, maximized beam and length, and voluminous interiors. Metaphorically speaking, comparing the Herreshoff school (or, for that matter, any of the designs of the 1960s and 1970s inspired by the Cruising Club of America’s CCA Rule) with contemporary production boats is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. 

Want proof? Check out the profile of the 510. The waterline is completely maxed out, with a reverse wave-piercing bow forward and a straight, razor-sharp transom astern (a drop-down transom gate serves as a swim platform and opens to a dinghy garage to stash a nearly 9-foot fully inflated tender). There’s not one but two sets of chines, forward and aft, an element that considerably opens up the interior floor plan. There are three windows in the hull, and, with 14 opening hatches on deck, the belowdecks staterooms are flooded with natural light and fresh air. 

Our test boat was adorned with a hardtop Bimini, which covered the entire cockpit with shade and had a sliding panel on Ronstan cars to open things up; a forward glass windshield linked to a fiberglass arch via an acrylic panel that shielded the cockpit from the breeze; and a barbecue and sink. All of which are options (as is a solar array), but these are such worthy, well-executed features that I couldn’t really imagine going without them. There are split cockpit tables, but you can also specify a high/low adjustable table that converts into a lounge, which would go along well with the foredeck sun pad. For the decks, there’s a choice between real teak and synthetic Flexiteek; for the hull colors, the choices in gelcoats are white and gray.  

The freeboard is as tall and considerable as the coachroof is low and sleek; aesthetically, it’s almost an afterthought. Bow and stern thrusters are practically a must because that freeboard represents considerable windage in tight quarters with the breeze on the beam. A forward sprit does double duty as the tack for a reaching sail and home to the ground tackle (a hefty Delta anchor). The single rudder is a deep blade (there are twin helms with Jefa steering), and a significant ballast bulb is attached to the keels (both the shoal and deep versions). Even dockside, the 510 looks raring to go. 

Construction is robust and straightforward. The hull and deck are balsa-cored, while the laminate is solid glass below the waterline. There’s a significant interior fiberglass grid to which the keel is anchored. The hull and deck are bonded and integrated with the toe-rail bulwarks. Additional fasteners are beneath each stanchion. The bulkheads are taped and bonded to the hull, and there are aluminum backing plates beneath each deck fitting. The main bulkhead is a reinforced composite laminate that serves as a compression post for the deck-stepped Seldén rig.

Our test ride sported a 12-volt electrical system with AGM batteries, but a lithium package is available. This boat was loaded with an air conditioner, a Fischer Panda generator, and a 110 hp Yanmar diesel with sail drive that trucked along at almost 8 knots with the throttle down to 2,500 rpm. The smooth emergency-­steering setup was as good as or better than anything we tested for the 2024 contest. 

Accommodations are equal to or roomier than a comfy shoreside condo. Our test boat was set up with the owner’s stateroom forward and a pair of good double-berth staterooms aft. The straight-line galley is to starboard, forward of the navigation desk, AC/DC panels and so on. There are a trio of fridges along with a freezer. (You will never want for a cold beverage on the 510.) To port, there’s a long settee with a high/low table that drops and converts to a berth. There’s a central island down the middle of the main cabin that includes, among other things, a pop-up television set. 

A four-stateroom, four-head layout is aimed at the charter trade. It includes a taut skipper’s cabin forward, which is a sail locker in the three-­staterooms configuration.  

Topsides, that aforementioned bowsprit opens up a foretriangle that accommodates a double-headsail rig: an outer stay with a genoa and an inner stay with a self-tacking jib, both easily controlled with Furlex furling drums. On our test boat, an in-mast furling mainsail was set off the tall spar (77 feet), though a traditional main is another option. The German-style double-ended mainsheet is a midboom arrangement. All the running rigging is led through belowdecks channels to winches and clutches well aft in the cockpit, and then to the dual steering pedestals. It’s a clean and tidy assemblage. 

In 10 to 12 knots of autumn breeze on Chesapeake Bay, the 510 acquitted itself very well. With the big headsail unfurled, it made close to 6 knots on a deep reach and scooted up to more than 8 knots coming up with the wind on the beam. Swapping over to the jib, the boatspeeds were equally favorable, making anywhere between 6 and 8 knots closehauled as the pressure fluctuated in the lulls and puffs. That deep rudder provided a lot of bite, and for pure performance, you can’t beat a long waterline. It was a very pleasant sail.

From soup to nuts, the yacht did everything you’d expect it to, with speed and dispatch—and it’s stylish to boot. There are good reasons that the big yards have come to dominate the big-boat marketplace. The Hanse 510 is a solid example why.
