Used Hanse Yachts For Sale

Built in the historic northeastern German shipyard in Greifswald on the Baltic Sea, Hanse Yachts AG has been building the Hanse brand sailing yachts since 1990. Greifswald has a shipbuilding history that dates back to the early-14th century. The Greifswald Shipyard built its final sailing yacht in the 1980s and in 1990 the modern Hanse Yachts boatyard was built upon Greifswald’s centuries of shipbuilding and craftsmanship traditions. In 1993, the Hanse yard launched the first series-manufactured sailboat with a self-tacking jib, the Hanse 291 and presented it at the International Hamburg Boat Show for its world premiere. With a design based on renowned Scandinavian designer, Carl Baier’s Aphrodite 29 and an unbeatable price, it became a runaway bestseller in not only Germany, but all of Europe, North America, Australia and Southeast Asia, and became the basis for the yard’s success—creating fast, innovative, beautiful yachts for enjoyable family cruising as well as competing in regattas.
