Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her moderate displacement on a moderate beam gives 25 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 25
CoastalBluewater

2.01 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.01
LightHeavy

186 — moderately heavy for her waterline, a balanced cruising weight.

Displacement / length 186
EasygoingPowered-up

20.6 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

Sail area / displacement 20.6
TenderStiff

32% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Ballast 32%

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

The Hanse Yachts 400 (2006-2007) is an ISO Category A offshore sailboat designed by Judel, Vrolijk, Co. and built by Hanse Yachts from 2006 to 2014. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, measures 12.1 meters LOA, has a 4.0-meter beam, a 2.0-meter draft, and displaces 8400 kg. The model received updates in 2008, adding twin steering wheels and a T keel option for deeper drafts. Lady K Sailing identifies the Hanse 400 as a budget-friendly production sailboat, typically ranging from $100,000 to $150,000, suitable for Caribbean and Mediterranean cruising.9:33 These production boats offer superior livability and larger cockpits compared to older, heavy-displacement designs. Owners should budget for maintenance on 20-year-old models, including standing rigging, sail inventory, and potential engine overhauls for the standard Yanmar 4JH series engines.6:18
