HanseHanseYachts’ recipe for success is the continuous development of successful concepts. Evolution instead of revolution. The successful Hanse 370 and Hanse 400 have received a comprehensive face lift. The deck layout and other distinctive design characteristics of both models now match Hanse’s new optical design guidelines: All deck hatches are now flush; four opening ports in the cabin top provide ample light below decks; and two additional ports next to the companionway guarantee optimal ventilation. The newly designed steering pedestals round off the optical modernisation of these two Hanse models.

BeneteauDesigned to complete the line-up of the next generation of Beneteaus, the new Beneteau 43 takes its place along with the very recent Beneteau 40, 46 and 49. All four of these exceptional yachts have been launched in production at the Beneteau USA plant in Marion, SC within the past 12 months, which is believed to be a record for the number of annual introductions for an American builder of large luxury sailboats.
