2022 Hanse 588 Sailing Yacht for Sale

Built in 2022 by Hanse Yachts to a design by Judel/Vrolijk & Co, CHOCOLAT is a 17.20 m sloop conceived for bluewater cruising with a reduced crew. Her vinylester sandwich construction and fully teak-laid deck place her among the larger production yachts built by the German yard. This Hanse 588 accommodates eight guests in four cabins, with a separate crew cabin in addition. French flagged and presented in excellent condition, she now lies in Villeneuve-Loubet, in the Mediterranean, where she joins the selection of sailing yachts for sale at Bernard Gallay Yacht Brokerage.

A Hanse 588 Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co

CHOCOLAT is a Hanse 588 sloop delivered in 2022 by Hanse Yachts to a design by Judel/Vrolijk & Co. Her vinylester sandwich construction combines lightness and stiffness, while her fully teak-laid deck gives her the look of a contemporary bluewater cruiser. Presented in excellent condition, this 2022 sailing yacht sails under the French flag.

 

A 17.20 m Sailing Yacht with a Selden Rig

She measures 17.20 m in length and 5.20 m in beam, with a 2.65 m draft and a displacement of 21.60 tonnes. Her rig is built around a Selden in-mast furling system and electric furlers, combined with a Quantum AC5 performance sail wardrobe. The whole set-up is designed to keep this 17-metre sailing yacht easy to handle short-handed, on coastal cruises as much as on longer passages.

 

Four Guest Cabins and a Separate Crew Cabin

Below deck, this Hanse 588 accommodates eight guests across four cabins, with a separate crew cabin for one. That four-guest-cabin layout makes it possible to welcome several families on board while preserving everyone's privacy, and to cruise with a professional crew member housed apart.

 

Volvo D3 Engine and Range of This Sailing Yacht

She is powered by a 110 hp Volvo D3 engine, giving her a speed of 8 knots and a range of 420 nautical miles at a consumption of 8 litres per hour. Tankage runs to 520 litres of fuel and 770 litres of fresh water, while a Fischer Panda 10000i 8 kW generator covers her electrical needs at anchor and under way.
