The Hanse Yachts 460 is a 2022-present production fractional sloop designed by Berret-Racoupeau, built as a coastal cruiser with a focus on interior volume and social space. It measures 14.6 meters LOA, with a 4.8-meter beam and a 2.2-meter draft, displacing 12,560 kg.56:15 The hull features a wide beam that narrows at the waterline for sailing performance, a reverse bow, and flush-mounted hatches.0:10 The standard rig includes a self-tacking jib and a standard main, with options for a furling main, a second forestay for a reacher or gennaker, or a Code Zero for light-air performance.3:06 Aboard SEILmagasinet, the boat felt under-rigged with only the self-tacking jib and full mainsail in 6–7 m/s winds.2:28 The cockpit places all winches aft near the helm, which can require kneeling to operate; electric winches are recommended.1:02 Aboard 45 Degrees Sailing, the cockpit's hydraulically operated tables block lazarette access when lowered, and the manual swim platform requires significant effort to raise.2:20 The bathing ladder's steep angle makes re-entry difficult.15:43 The cockpit seating can leave a dangerous gap at the stern without optional seats, and these seats lack non-slip surfacing.5:28 The Hanse 460 lacks a traditional traveler, using a coach-top bridle system instead.5:26 Its 71-foot air draft makes it unsuitable for the Intracoastal Waterway.
