In 2017 Hanse carried out a major renovation of compact cruisers and together with Hanse 418 introduced 348, 388 and 548 models.
Exterior and interior design
The boat has received its exterior and architecture from the Judel / Vrolijk & Co studio, which has given it a modern look and good cruising performance. The interior spaces were taken care of by the yard's design department. There is plenty of natural light here and in the evening there are plenty of luminaires to create a cosy and pleasant atmosphere.
Amenities on board
The boat has received a popular among shipbuilders Mediterranean cockpit with folding transom (used as a bathing platform). Despite the abundance of manholes, there is a place on the roof where sunbathing is possible. The Lower Deck is available with two or three cabins. In the first version, a large pantry for various uses takes up space at the stern.
Features
The deck is flat without protruding objects and with smooth corners. All wiring of the running rigging is tucked into the hoods and bolted. On the aesthetic side this is certainly a plus, but if one of the ends slips out, tucking it back in will be a big problem. Otherwise, the controls do not cause any special complaints and are placed conveniently for solo work.
Swimming area
The Hanse 418 is prepared for long voyages and even long transatlantic passages.
