Hanse 315
Big Boat Thinking
in a Compact Package

THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMPACT SAILING YACHTS

The Hanse 315 redefines what is possible in a modern compact cruising yacht. Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co and built in Germany to exacting standards, the Hanse 315 delivers genuine sailing performance, intelligent design and surprising interior volume in a highly manageable size.

For Australian sailors looking for a new yacht that is easy to own, easy to sail and capable of serious coastal cruising, the Hanse 315 represents one of the most compelling options on the market today. It is equally at home exploring local bays, coastal passages or serving as a refined step into modern yacht ownership.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Modern Judel/Vrolijk hull design optimised for performance
Quality engineering and meticulous construction standards
Easy short-handed sailing with self-tacking jib as standard
Spacious, light-filled interior rarely seen in this size range
Ideal for Australian coastal cruising and varied conditions
Backed by full factory support and Performance Cruising Yachts’ local expertise

WHY THE 315 STANDS OUT

Compared to competitors in the 30–32ft segment, the Hanse 315 delivers a more refined sailing experience, stronger structural integrity & smarter systems integration.

Hanse’s design philosophy prioritises:

Stiff, well-balanced hulls that reward good sail trim
Clean deck layouts that improve safety and ease of handling
Integrated systems designed for long-term durability
A responsive sailing without being demanding

Where some designs prioritise interior volume at the expense of sailing performance, the Hanse 315 achieves a rare balance – comfortable living without compromising how the boat sails.
