2007 Hanse 400e

The Hanse 400e is a 40-foot composite sailing yacht built for responsive performance and comfortable cruising. This 2007 model features an epoxy hull—lighter, stronger, and more blister-resistant than the standard polyester alternative—paired with a factory teak deck. The boat is outfitted with a Yanmar 40 hp diesel engine, self-tacking jib, boom furling main, and asymmetrical spinnaker with ATN sock. Additional equipment includes a folding propeller, auto-pilot, chart plotter, forced air heat, and custom details such as a hard top dodger with integrated conduits and lights, external stainless steel handrails, and an aft grab rail.

The layout comprises three cabins and two heads. The forward owner's stateroom is spacious with a private head, while twin aft cabins serve guests. The interior combines oak and white finishes throughout. An aft galley opens to the main salon, creating an efficient entertaining space. The design maximizes natural light and airiness across the accommodation.

The Hanse 400e is recognized for its ease of handling and balanced sailing characteristics. Performance-oriented and nimble on the helm, the boat responds well in varied conditions. A sistership recorded speeds over 17.8 knots while surfing downwind off Vancouver Island's west coast. This particular example represents a well-appointed version of the model, with thoughtful upgrades and accessories selected for extended cruising and family use.
