2004 Hanse 531

The Hanse 531 is a German-built cruising sailboat from 2004, measuring 53 feet in length with a 16-foot beam. Powered by a Yanmar diesel engine of 148 horsepower, it combines responsive handling with strong offshore capability. A retractable bow thruster aids maneuvering in tight quarters, while the generous sail plan and efficient hull design deliver solid performance under canvas.

The interior is laid out with four cabins, each served by its own head with shower. The accommodations are designed around comfort and space for extended cruising, with a modern, open arrangement throughout the cabin area.

The boat displaces 18,700 kilograms with 6,700 kilograms of ballast, and draws 2.8 meters of water. The mast height of 26.25 meters reflects a well-proportioned rig suited to cruising sailboat standards. Overall, the 531 is built for stability and ease of handling across the range of conditions encountered in ocean and coastal cruising.
