€40,000 RECENT UPGRADES I 600AH LITHIUM & VICTRON SYSTEM I 50L/H WATERMAKER I NEW 2025 SAILSSWEETLY is a 2010 Hanse 445 offering the desirable three-cabin, two-heads owner's layout together with the easily managed sailing characteristics for which Hanse's larger performance cruisers are well known.The previous British owner maintained SWEETLY exclusively for private use, and she was not operated as part of a charter fleet during his or the current ownership.
She has benefited from an extensive programme of technical work and upgrading, with approximately €40,000 reportedly invested across recent works and equipment. This programme has included significant attention to her electrical and charging systems, lithium battery bank, underwater hull, plumbing and heads, rig, sails, steering, bow thruster and deck equipment.
A technical inspection carried out in June 2025 provides useful supporting evidence of the yacht's condition at that time. The recommendations arising from that inspection are reported by the seller as having subsequently been addressed.
Notable equipment includes a Volvo Penta D2-75 75hp diesel engine, 600Ah lithium domestic battery bank, Victron Quattro 5000 inverter/charger, Victron Cerbo GX monitoring, 400W solar charging, Rutland wind generator, bow thruster, Webasto diesel heating, Zen 50 l/h watermaker, comprehensive B&G navigation electronics, electric winches, electric heads and a Golenship aluminium-hulled RIB with Honda 9.9hp outboard.
BROKER'S COMMENTS
SWEETLY represents an interesting opportunity for anyone seeking a spacious and easily managed performance cruiser with the versatile three-cabin layout of the Hanse 445.
Of particular interest is the extent of her recent programme of works and upgrades, with approximately €40,000 reportedly invested and supporting documentation and invoices available. Significant attention has been given to the electrical installation, charging systems, batteries, underwater hull, freshwater and sanitation systems, standing rigging, sails, steering gear, bow thruster and deck equipment.
The electrical installation is particularly comprehensive, centred around a Victron Quattro 5000 inverter/charger, Cerbo GX monitoring system, 600Ah lithium domestic battery bank, 400W of solar generation and a Rutland 1200 wind generator.
Her Volvo Penta D2-75 has approximately 5,000 hours and was routinely serviced approximately 10 hours ago. The inspection and compression testing recommended following the June 2025 technical report were subsequently carried out.
The mast and rig have also been inspected, with two lower shrouds replaced. A new full-batten mainsail was fitted in August 2025, while a new self-tacking genoa from the same period remains aboard and has reportedly never been used. A used 110% genoa is currently fitted.
With three double cabins, two heads, substantial domestic electrical capacity, diesel heating, watermaker and a straightforward deck arrangement, SWEETLY is well equipped for extended family cruising or longer periods aboard.More video available on request. Additional InformationCONSTRUCTION

RECENT WORKS AND UPGRADES
Approximately €40,000 reportedly invested in recent works and equipment, with supporting documentation and invoices available.
The seller reports no history of collisions or other incidents. During the 2025 refit, all existing underwater coatings and antifouling were completely removed, allowing the hull and keel to be thoroughly inspected. The seller advises that both were found to be in excellent condition, with no issues identified.
As part of the same works, the keel received preventative anti-oxidant treatment followed by primer and three coats of International Micron 350 antifouling. The rudder, rudder bushing and associated assembly were also fully serviced and overhauled.
Works and upgrades include:
Major electrical system upgrade Victron Quattro 5000 inverter/charger Victron Cerbo GX monitoring 600Ah lithium domestic battery installation Battery cabling replacement 400W solar installation with Victron controller Hull repaint in original Hanse grey Underwater hull stripped of previous coatings, inspected and refinished Keel inspected and preventative anti-oxidant treatment applied Primer and three coats of International Micron 350 antifouling Trudesign through-hull fittings Freshwater and WC hose replacement Two electric toilets Bathroom and shower fittings Shower pumps and grey-water arrangement Marco freshwater pressure pump Bilge pumps Bow thruster overhaul Folding propeller overhaul Anode replacement Mast and rig inspection Two lower shrouds replaced New full-batten mainsail New self-tacking genoa AIS antenna replacement Sprayhood and Bimini replacement Rudder, bushing and associated assembly fully serviced and overhauled Italwinch 1500W anchor windlass fitted May 2026
