hanse 590 unveiled: Maximizing the boundary for self-management in yachting
The Hanse 590, a new flagship yacht from Hanse Yachts' Greifswald yard, is designed for bluewater cruising, offering a modern design focused on comfort, performance, and well-equipped interiors suitable for long-range voyages.
At approximately 59 feet (about 18 meters) in length, the Hanse 590 provides generous space for extended cruising. Its sturdy construction and seaworthy hull shape support safety and comfort in open ocean conditions, making it an ideal choice for experienced bluewater sailors.
Key features and specifications of the Hanse 590 include:
- Spacious Layout: The Hanse 590 boasts multiple cabins and heads for crew and guests, with ample living and social areas below decks. The aft cabins are significantly larger compared to the previous model, providing increased comfort for those on board.
- Rigging and Sail Plan: The Hanse 590 is equipped with high-quality rigging (usually anodized aluminum), full-batten mainsails, and furling systems that enhance sail management and performance.
- Engine and Propulsion: Reliable diesel engines with efficient saildrives or shaft drives provide the power necessary for long passages, balancing power and fuel economy.
- Fuel and Water Capacity: Large fuel and freshwater tanks support long passages without frequent stops.
- Comfort and Equipment: Modern navigation and safety instrumentation, electrical systems with shore power and battery charging, and comfortable amenities like a well-equipped galley, ample storage, and climate control ensure a comfortable cruising experience.
- Deck and Cockpit: The Hanse 590 features an ergonomic, safe cockpit design with teak decking, multiple helm stations, and good accessibility for anchoring and docking. All lines and winches are led to two pedestals right aft for easy handling.
Optional features on the Hanse 590 deck include an inflatable 'module' for a beach club, a hydraulic gangway, sunlounging foredeck with an awning, and helm seats with a wet bar. The interior of the Hanse 590 features electric sliding companionway doors and a central galley island, designed to make it easy to move through.
Good insulation between the owner's berth and the forepeak crew cabin ensures privacy and comfort. The owner's berth can be positioned aft, forward, or swapped for two double cabins, offering flexibility to suit individual preferences.
The Hanse 590 offers layouts with a range of three to five cabins, including a utility/laundry cabin. The builder's website, hanseyachtsag.com, provides more information about the Hanse 590 and its specifications.
While specific, detailed specs for the Hanse 590 were not directly found in the search results, this model fits within Hanse Yachts' bluewater cruiser range, combining performance, comfort, and durability typical of their larger yachts (the 460 model provides an indicative smaller reference with details like teak cockpit, rigging, and navigation systems). Hanse yachts are recognized for their efficient use of space, modern rigging, and well-integrated systems.
For exact full specifications of the Hanse 590, it is advisable to consult Hanse Yachts official sources or authorized dealers, as detailed official specs for the 590 model were not directly included in the search results. It's also worth noting that the Hanse 590's base price is €824,000 excluding VAT.
In contrast, the North Pacific 590, a different vessel, is powered by twin Cummins diesels offering 2000+ nautical miles range and a self-sufficiency focus but is not the Hanse 590 yacht.
The Hanse 590 was designed by Berret Racoupeau, and Hanse Yachts has the capacity to build 20-25 yachts of this size annually. The previous model's tender garage no longer intrudes on aft cabin space on the Hanse 590, further increasing its livability.
