Spotlight: Hanse 675 Luxury Sailing Yacht
At 21 metres (67 feet) the high-tech luxury Hanse 675 is German sailboat manufacturer Hanse Yacht’s biggest build ever. It packs a 32-metre carbon mast and is breaking records as Germany’s largest yacht build in series production.
And the first 675 is ready to set sail in Australia and New Zealand; it’s being brought to Australia by the Windcraft Group.
Developed by leading designers Judel/Vrolijk & Co, the sporty cruiser comes equipped with Hanse’s signature self-tacking headsail and an uncluttered deck layout focused on an elongated teak foredeck and the flowing roofline. Inside, the boat is light-filled, thanks to large hull windows and a huge panoramic roof with an electronically controlled deck section.
The interior layout is a first for Hanse and offers owners and guests extra privacy thanks, to a separate crew entry on the port side of the cockpit, which leads to the galley and crew cabin plus the wet area.
Design has been a high priority; in the large owners’ cabin the shelves and sideboards are mounted so they appear to float, while the saloon boasts a card table with screen that doubles as an office area, a coffee bar in the side wall and a temperature-controlled wine cooler.
Guests can relax in peace and quiet in the saloon with its state-of-the-art entertainment systems as the kitchen and utility areas have been separated from the main living area.
The cockpit has three 21-inch screens for entertainment or navigation, while handmade leather and wood panels give finishing touches rarely seen in a production yacht.
