Owners Comments
Under her current ownership for the last 9 years she has been a brilliant boat for fast, comfortable and safe family adventures, both locally along the south coast and in the 2017 ARC. She has made in an era when Hanse made their boats strong. She has always given total confidence no mater what the conditions. With 4 en suite cabinets she has been perfect to take away friends and family. With the children now grown up we are looking to downsize and reluctantly putting her up for sale. Constantly updated, she has wanted for nothing. After a very successful ARC in 2017 and a season in the Caribbean and BVI she sailed back to the UK where, over the following 3 years, she went through a major refit, including replacement of all standing and running rigging, new DPS Lite Skin mainsail and Genoa, new stack pack, new YANMAR 110HP engine and gearbox, new fuel tanks, all new batteries, high power inverter and charger, all new Garmin electronics and fusion stereo.

Brokers Comments
If you are looking for something that will stand out from the crowd but with a proven build quality and very stylish design, looks and appeal, then this Hanse 531 is an absolute must to view. She is clearly equipped to be a Long Distance / Blue Water Cruiser, as proven by her multiple Atlantic Crossings, including the ARC, but will be equally at home cruising the South Coast. Hanse are a highly respected German manufacturer that focus on building good quality, stylish boats & Saga offers a rare opportunity to buy such a well equipped 531. She is currently lying in Southampton & viewing can be arranged through Aspire Boat Sales.
