When the Hanse 460 was launched two years ago, she represented a significant development for Hanse Yachts. The changes weren’t radical, but Hanse wanted to make sure she looked different and did everything just that little bit better than her predecessor.
The 460 was the first model from the Berret-Racoupeau design team as opposed to Judel/Vrolijk, with whom Hanse had been working for decades. She took her place in the range alongside Judel/Vrolijk’s 458 until the older model was discontinued. And what an extraordinary success the 460 has been – over 300 have been built to date.
When I tested her in the summer of 2022, it was easy to see that she would have wide appeal. She was big, fast, comfortable, roomy and easy to handle; still unmistakably a Hanse, yet with styling and detailing that set her apart from earlier models.
The big question then was which boat in the range (all with designations ending in ‘8’) would be the next to be replaced by a new ‘0-series’ Berret-Racoupeau design. Eventually, we found out: the 418 would give way to the 410, which was launched at last year’s Cannes Boat Show shortly before appearing at Southampton.
Not surprisingly, the new arrival looked much like her big sister in many respects. She had the same reverse bow, a hint of reverse sheer and a pronounced knuckle above the waterline forward to maximise space below decks. Full bow sections would make sure there was plenty of space to maximise. She had a soft chine aft and a single rudder. Large windows were set into the topsides. The family resemblance was more than clear.
