This Hanse 312 is a fantastic boat that delivers strong sailing performance, solid build quality and practical comfort in a well-proven package. Designed by Judel/Vrolijk, it offers a fast, well-balanced hull that performs efficiently upwind and remains easy to control in a range of conditions. The self-tacking jib and simple deck layout make it particularly well suited to short-handed sailing, reducing workload without sacrificing speed.
Construction is robust, with a stiff hull and reliable structural design that inspires confidence offshore and in heavier weather. Below decks, the Hanse 312 makes good use of its size, providing a bright, functional interior with comfortable berths, a practical galley and adequate storage for coastal cruising.
With just two owners from new this Hanse 312 combines performance cruising with straightforward handling, making it an appealing choice for sailors who value efficiency, reliability and enjoyable sailing without unnecessary complexity.
