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 from 2022. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, measures 14.6 meters LOA with a 4.8-meter beam, and displaces 12,560 kg. The design prioritizes cruising, offering interior configurations up to five cabins and multiple heads, with a high-volume hull that narrows at the waterline for sailing performance. Aboard SEILmagasinet, sea trials in 6–7 m/s winds found the boat under-rigged with only the self-tacking jib and full mainsail, suggesting the optional reacher or Code Zero is necessary for better light-air performance.2:55 The cockpit places all winches aft near the helm, a position that often requires kneeling for operation, making electric winches a recommended upgrade.1:02 45 Degrees Sailing noted several ergonomic issues, including hydraulically operated cockpit tables that block lazarette access when lowered, a manual swim platform requiring significant effort, and a steep bathing ladder.2:20 The same channel also observed undersized cockpit winches and Selden rigging.46:16 The Hanse 460 was displayed at boot Düsseldorf 2026 and Salone Nautico di Genova 2025.3:02
