Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to acquire the best on the market of one of Hanse’s most sold models!!

A product of Hanse’s large, highly efficient manufacturing facility in Greifswald, Germany, the 455 is similar to the rest of the company’s extensive product line, both in terms of styling and construction.

In appearance, it shares the business-like squared-off bow and transom and low, severely angled cabin trunk that has become the company’s trademark.

The boat’s hull consists of a solid polyester laminate with a vinylester outer layer to resist osmotic blistering. A structural fibreglass grid is tabbed in place to carry the boat’s keel and rig loads. Bulkheads are also tabbed in place to stiffen the hull, and the deck is balsa-cored to help lower the boat’s centre of gravity.

The boat’s tapered double-spreader Seldén aluminium rig is slightly fractional to provide breathing room for an A-sail. Standing rigging is stainless wire.

The boat is equipped with twin Jefa helms and a single deep rudder—another hallmark of the Hanse line and a handy thing to have, whether you’re manoeuvring in a crowded marina or muscling your way through a stiff breeze

A LOA of 45ft aboard a modern cruising boat means lots of volume for accommodations, and on the Hanse 455 there’s plenty of room. This is especially apparent in the saloon, which is suffused with ambient light thanks to a plethora of overhead hatches and hull windows.

Deck and Cockpit Equipment

The Hanse 455's cockpit is large enough that it can accommodate a good-sized folding table and still be easy to get around. All sheets and halyards are led aft to the twin helms, and each helm has a large dedicated bench seat well forward of the split backstay. Practical options abound, including retracting mooring cleats, primary electric Lewmar winches positioned where you can work them easily from the wheel, a handy slide-away companionway hatch, and a massive sail locker accessed through an overhead hatch in the foredeck.

Especially fun is the cockpit sink under the portside helm seat and a grill under the helm seat to starboard. Both can be tended with ease, either from the cockpit or from the very large drop-down swim platform. A low bulwark/toe rail provides added security moving forward.
