The Azzurro is a truly special boat, not only for its color and distinctive aesthetics but also for its configuration. Hanse configured a few units of the 531 with a larger rig that is compensated by a larger keel. This configuration makes the Azzurro a truly stable, ocean-going boat that provides tremendous comfort and great safety with easy maneuverability.
Additionally, it has been rigged for single-handed sailing with a larger roller furling genoa, self-tacking jib, and asymmetrical spinnakers with a storage system.
