With an overall length of 11.40 meters and a generous width of 3.90 meters, this model offers a spacious living area while ensuring excellent maneuverability, even with a reduced crew.

Thanks to its slender hull and narrow stern, the Hanse 388 achieves a cruising speed of around 7.5 knots, with precise and balanced handling, especially when sailing close-hauled.

This sailboat is equipped with a tall mast optimized to capture steady winds at altitude, a self-tacking tri-radial jib, and an adjustable backstay, ensuring easy and safe navigation. Its robust balsa sandwich construction, with isophthalic gelcoat and vinylester laminate, offers both lightness and strength. With a displacement of 8.3 tons, of which about 33% is concentrated in the keel, it benefits from excellent course stability and great reliability in rough seas.

The interior of the Hanse 388 is bright and functional, designed to provide optimal comfort during extended cruises. The spacious layout and generous volumes allow for hosting family and friends in a warm and modern atmosphere. User feedback highlights the quality of the finishes, the ergonomics of the deck layout, and the ease of maneuvers, even when sailing solo.

In terms of performance, the generous sail area includes a mainsail of approximately 43.5 m² and a self-tacking jib of 28.5 m², providing great responsiveness in all conditions. The 39-horsepower engine ensures easy maneuvers in the harbor or sheltered areas. The 160-liter fuel tank and 295-liter freshwater capacity provide great autonomy for long voyages.

The Hanse 388 (2023) is the ideal sailboat for discerning sailors looking for a boat that is both high-performing, easy to handle, and extremely comfortable.
