The Hanse 301 is known for it's sleek design without compromising internal space. Being easy to sail short-handed with the self-tacking jib and excellent sea-keeping abilities make for a safe family boat. The wing keel keeps the draft low whilst offering similar stability and performance to a deeper fin. Viewing by appointment only through the Essex officeor email:
