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

LivelySea-kindly

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

Comfort ratio 25

CoastalBluewater

Capsize screening 2.08

158 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 158

EasygoingPowered-up

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

27% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

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

What the fleet has seen

The Hanse Yachts 460, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Hanse Yachts 460 is a Berret-Racoupeau-designed fractional sloop, built by Hanse Yachts since 2022, featuring a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull. It measures 14.6 meters LOA, 4.8 meters beam, 2.2 meters draft, and displaces 12,560 kg. Aboard *45 Degrees Sailing*, the boat's cockpit layout presents challenges, including hydraulically operated tables that block lazarette access when lowered and a manual swim platform requiring significant effort to raise.2:20 The bathing ladder's steep angle makes re-entry difficult, and the cockpit seating lacks non-slip surfacing and leaves a dangerous gap without optional seats.5:38 Interior design flaws include a cramped bathroom door and electronics placed in a wet galley area.26:43 Despite these issues, the boat offers good maneuverability with bow and stern thrusters, and electric winch controls at the helm perform well.5:18 The Hanse 460 is priced at 330,000 euros, positioning it between the Dufour 48 and the Beneteau Oceanis 47.0:47
