Judel/Vrolijk join forces with Hanse to achieve a specific goal: to orient the line even more towards cruising. To this end, in 2000, a small 9-meter boat dedicated to this purpose is born: light displacement, fractional rig, and bright, spacious interiors available in different variations. The Hanse 311 succeeds in its intent: it’s the ideal hull for those approaching the world of cabin cruisers, agile, manageable, and compact. Not for nothing, it was the boat of the year 2001.
