Hanse 510
THE NEXT GENERATION
OF BLUEWATER PERFORMANCE

The Evolution of Offshore Excellence

The Hanse 510 represents a bold evolution in modern sailing yachts — combining German precision engineering with expansive volume, effortless handling and long-range cruising capability.

Designed by Berret-Racoupeau, the Hanse 510 delivers powerful offshore performance, refined luxury and intelligent systems integration. At over 51 feet, it offers serious bluewater capability while remaining remarkably easy to sail short-handed.

For Australian sailors seeking new sailing yachts in Australia, the Hanse 510 sets a benchmark for innovation, comfort and structural integrity.

Whether cruising the Whitsundays, exploring Tasmania, sailing Sydney Harbour or preparing for offshore passages, the Hanse 510 is engineered for confident ownership.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Powerful modern hull with optimised hydrodynamics and twin rudders
German engineering with vacuum-infused construction
Expansive cockpit with island seating and twin helm stations
Self-tacking jib system for effortless short-handed sailing
Flexible 3 to 5 cabin layouts
Ideal for Australian bluewater cruising conditions

WHY THE HANSE 510 STANDS OUT

Compared to competitors such as the Jeanneau 51, Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 and Bavaria C50, the Hanse 510 delivers a more refined balance of performance, build precision and cockpit ergonomics.

Hanse’s engineering philosophy emphasises:

Structural rigidity through advanced hull lamination
Intelligent systems integration for long-term durability
Superior deck hardware and load management
Clean sail plans with simplified handling
Living space without compromising offshore performance

Where some 50-foot cruising yachts prioritise interior volume alone, the Hanse 510 achieves both space and sailing authority.
