Hanse 455 | 2017
Summary
Overview
Regarded as one of the strongest all-rounders in the 45-foot cruising class, this performance cruising yacht designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co. delivers exhilarating speed under sail while remaining refined, comfortable, and remarkably easy to handle.
Boats like this on the brokerage market do not come along that often; she was heavily spec'd from new by her current Owner with nearly every available option, yet has been continually upgraded since, and with a maintenance schedule to boot.
Presented in excellent condition both externally and internally, and with her striking blue hull, she will certainly not disappoint.
