Hanse 470 – 2010 | VAT Paid | Mediterranean | Well Equipped Performance Cruiser
Fast, comfortable and exceptionally capable Mediterranean performance cruiser also perfect as a large family cruiser. The Hanse 470 has a genuine performance pedigree from Judel/Vrolijk, but combines this with the volume and accommodation expected of a 47ft cruising yacht.
A highly specified and extensively upgraded Hanse 470 Performance Cruiser/Racer. Privately owned and never chartered, she benefits from a powerful 75hp Yanmar, retractable bow thruster, extensive Victron electrical system, custom 2016 performance sail wardrobe including a 190m² gennaker and carbon bowsprit, three-cabin/two-head accommodation, teak decks and a comprehensive navigation package. Her underwater hull has been freshly prepared in September 2026 and she is VAT paid.
The 2010 range has a modern hull design, spacious accommodation and a very practical deck layout, making them equally suitable for Mediterranean cruising, family sailing and longer-distance passages. Hanse’s original specification gives an LOA of 14.31m, beam of 4.46m, displacement of approximately 12.2 tonnes and CE Category A Ocean certification.
2026 work carried out: Underwater hull preparation, saildrive service, new anodes, bow-thruster anode, jib maintenance, roof hatch covers, and recent engine servicing.
Attractively priced at Euros €195,000 VAT Paid

Owners Comments on Performance:
A high quality performance sailing yacht, our boat out-sails any other sailing boat in her class and beyond. We can sail at low winds where others are still on motor. Not only because of the Hanse 470 design itself but more over because of her specially designed sail wardrobe. (we only use approx. 125 ltr diesel on a 3 months trip in the Ionian/Peloponnese – typically low wind region)
Combined in the photos of the yacht are some screen shots of the wind and speed meters (taken only with main and overlapping jib up, without her gennaker).

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.
Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.

The combination of performance and easy handling is one of the Hanse 470’s strongest marketing points. The self-tacking jib, twin-wheel steering and well-organised cockpit make the boat practical for a couple, while the three-cabin layout provides excellent accommodation for family and guests. Contemporary brokerage descriptions also highlight the model’s sailing performance, generous cockpit and suitability for short-handed cruising.
