Introducing the Hanse 360: A Small Yet Spacious Marvel for Single-handed and Family Cruising
With the recent addition to the Hanse yachts lineup, we have redefined the compact cruiser. The Hanse 360 is now the fourth model in the new series, created once again in collaboration with renowned naval architects Berret-Racoupeau.
Measuring 11 meters, this yacht is designed to offer the spaciousness and amenities typically reserved for larger vessels, making it an exceptional choice for sailors who appreciate her easy handling when sailing withand family & friends who crave comfort and functionality without compromising on performance. She’s called a Space Wonder for a reason.
Spacious Design in a Compact Package
Despite her modest size, the Hanse 360 boasts an interior layout that comes with an unrivaled sense of space. Our design team has ingeniously maximized space, ensuring that every inch of the 36 foot yacht is utilised efficiently. This is particularly evident in the generous living areas and ample storage options, which allow for extended cruising without the cramped feeling often associated with smaller yachts.

Cruising Capabilities
One of the standout features of the Hanse 360 is her suitability for single-handed cruising. The yacht is equipped with state-of-the-art sailing technology that make single-handed operation straightforward and safe. Key systems, such as the self-tacking jib and the autopilot, allow even solo sailors to handle the yacht with ease, even in challenging conditions. The systems can be operated via mobile devices, making controlling them even easier.
Additionally, the ergonomic cockpit design ensures that all necessary controls are within easy reach of the helmsman. This thoughtful layout reduces the need for constant movement around the deck, enhancing the pleasure for the sailor.
Performance and Handling
Under sail, the Hanse 360 delivers impressive performance. Her well-balanced hydrodynamic hull and efficient sail plan ensure excellent handling and speed, whether cruising leisurely or racing. The yacht's stability and responsiveness make it a joy to sail, even for those new to single-handed cruising. Her rig can be paired with various sail options, including a performance-optimised square-top mainsail or a furling mainsail for maximum ease of use.

This yacht offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of a compact vessel and the luxurious feel of a much larger yacht.
