September 12, 2012Hanse 575Stability and speed were two of the attributes specified by Hanse when they asked the Judel/Vrolijk design team to produce their new 57-footer, and they responded with a beamy, voluminous yacht with loads of storage and countless interesting features. Our favorite? The dinghy “garage” for a jet-powered tender. The Hanse 575 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.

September 12, 2012Hanse 495Among the many, many choices that an owner of Hanse’s new 495 will have to make is the layout below, which the company refers to as its “individual cabin concept.” The standard boat has the terrific owners cabin in the bow, but you can also choose to have the main stateroom aft. A quartet of cabins is a third option. The Hanse 495 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.
