Hanse 495, designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co and built in 2011, is a highly capable and well-equipped cruising yacht combining modern performance, spacious accommodation and excellent levels of self-sufficiency. Currently lying at Cleopatra Marina, Greece, she has been extensively cruised in the Mediterranean since 2022. Measuring 15.4m (50’5”) overall with a 4.75m beam and 2.38m draft, features a dark blue gelcoat hull, fin keel with bulb, twin wheel steering and a spacious aft cockpit. Accommodation is arranged over three cabins with six berths, including a generous master cabin with walk-around bed, separate shower and heads. Power comes from a 75hp Volvo Penta D2-75F diesel with saildrive and upgraded three-blade folding propeller. The engine was serviced in March 2025 and the saildrive seal was replaced in May 2023. Cruising independence is enhanced by a Schenker 30-litre/hour watermaker, Watt & Sea hydro-generator, 770W solar array and upgraded battery and charging systems. The sloop rig carries a 2020 Hyde heavy-duty cruising mainsail and 105% genoa, an original Hanse self-tacking jib and a 2018 Code 0. The yacht is equipped with B&G navigation equipment including a Zeus 3 12” plotter, 4G radar, RS100 VHF, AIS B, autopilot and forward-looking sonar. The interior features high-quality mahogany-style joinery, leather upholstery, Eberspächer heating and a well-equipped galley with three-burner cooker, oven, microwave and Vitifrigo refrigeration. Recent upgrades include a new Bimini (2024), sprayhood (2025), permanent folding stainless-steel swim ladder (2024), cockpit cushions (2024) and new domestic batteries (2025). A well-presented and comprehensively equipped Hanse 495, she is ready for extended cruising and new adventures in the Mediterranean. https://www.williamsandsmithells.com/boats/hanse-495/
