PROGRESSIVE AND ELEGANT CRUISER FOR BLUE WATERS

The Hanse 508 is an ideal yacht for long voyages and relaxing cruises in blue waters. The 15.55-meter boat convinces with a progressive design, flawless sailing performance and a unique level of customization options. The characteristic shape of the hull, the tall rig and the sail plan from judel/vorlijk & co ensure fast and easy sailing without compromising the elegant and comfortable life below deck.

FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS

FAST CRUISING. The high rig and the perfectly optimized sail plan, combined with a balanced rudder and a deep L-shaped keel, make the HANSE 508 one of the top performers in its class with excellent speed, stability, and safety. The unique hull construction, designed by the famous judel / vrolijk & co with an almost straight bow and stern, creates a long waterline that makes the most of the hull length. The keel is directly attached to the robust floor structure with large stainless steel bolts. The hull has a sandwich multilayer with GRP laminates either side of a balsa core, protected by a vinylester resin layer to prevent osmosis.

EASY SAILING. The HANSE 508 comes with the original self-tacking jib in the standard configuration allowing easy maneuvering. The deck and cockpit area are free of all sheets and halyards and perfectly organized, offering more space and comfort. The German mainsheet system allows the helmsman to adjust the mainsail from both sides of the yacht and always have control without changing position.

CUSTOMIZATIONS. With thousands of different customization options, you can configure your HANSE 508 to make a statement. Choose your technical equipment and interior layout. Pick materials and colors for floors, furniture, upholstery, sprayhood, bimini tops, sails, steering wheels and much more. Upgrade your performance, navigation,, and entertainment. No other line-production brand offers a broader choice of customizations than HANSE. Make your yacht truly yours.
