What this video covers

The Hanse 460 features a high-volume hull design with a wide beam that narrows significantly at the waterline to maintain sailing performance.0:08 The vessel represents a shift toward a cruising-focused design, offering interior configurations ranging up to five cabins and multiple heads.1:44 The tested unit, hull number one, includes a three-cabin, two-head layout with an optional chart table.1:41 Propulsion comes from a Yanmar engine paired with a standard rig.2:25 During sea trials in 6–7 meters per second of wind, the boat felt under-rigged with only the self-tacking jib and full mainsail.0:35 The factory-installed reacher sail provides power on a reach but hinders upwind performance and pointing ability.0:41 The cockpit layout places all winches aft near the helm, which requires kneeling to operate them effectively; electric winches are recommended to compensate for the difficult working position.1:02 Owners can install optional genoa tracks to accommodate a larger headsail or utilize a Code Zero for better light-air performance.2:55 While base pricing starts at 3.5 million NOK, well-equipped models typically exceed 6 million NOK.3:19
