The entry-level offering from the German boat builder, the Hanse 320 captures all popular features from the builders larger yachts in a compact and easily handled yacht. The large cockpit with steering pedestal aft is spacious for a boat of its length. With all lines lead aft and mainsheet rigged to a central point immediately forward of the pedestal everything is close at hand. Below deck the use of traditional mahogany finishes for the joinery work combined with the contemporary styling and plenty of natural light creates a comfortable two-cabin interior.
The 2008 Hanse 320 RIO has been very lightly used and mainly for only day sailing from her homeport in the Clyde Estuary. With only 244 hours recorded on the engine and her sails still crisp she offers the rare opportunity to acquire a lightly example of a current production model at a significant saving. Offered ready to launch for the season her inventory features:
Having wintered ashore RIO has been polished and antifouled, handed over to her new owner afloat and ready to sail away. Staying local on the Clyde we look forward to seeing this beautiful Hanse 320 on the water with her new owner and crew this summer.
PRESS REVIEW:
‘The Hanse 320 should prove to be a sprightly, but easily managed cruiser that is well mannered and easy to handle under sail by a light crew, making her an ideal starter boat or downsizer. Her spacious accommodation is fantastic for a 32ft yacht and the build quality and equipment level is above average for a production boat. In comparison with others in her class she represents very good value for money.’
