THE BOAT
This 2012 Hanse 385 for sale in Barcelona brings together many of the qualities that made the model successful: easy handling, a highly usable cockpit, twin wheels, self-tacking jib and a three-cabin interior designed for family cruising.
The yacht is powered by a 40 hp Volvo Penta with approximately 1,650 hours and is equipped with B&G electronics, a Simrad AP24 autopilot, radar, AIS, depth sounder and a Victron electrical system. The sail inventory is also unusually complete, including a self-tacking jib, asymmetric sail and Code 0.
A particularly useful recent improvement is the mainsail system: the previous batten arrangement has been upgraded with cars running on a mast track, making hoisting and lowering the mainsail easier when sailing short-handed.
Why this Hanse 385 stands out
Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co., the Hanse 385 was conceived as a modern cruiser balancing sailing performance, easy handling and interior volume. Twin helm stations, a folding bathing platform and the self-tacking jib make the deck layout particularly practical both underway and at anchor.
This yacht is especially attractive because it combines three cabins, comprehensive navigation equipment and a versatile sail wardrobe. The equipment is clearly aimed at real cruising rather than simply marina use.

Fontnautic view
For Fontnautic, the Hanse 385 is a very good example of the modern cruising concept: relatively easy to handle, a generous cockpit, a highly efficient interior layout and equipment that allows the yacht to be sailed without a large crew.
We particularly like the combination of the 40 hp Volvo Penta, self-tacking jib, mainsail upgrade, asymmetric sail, Code 0 and B&G / Simrad navigation package. The Victron system adds genuine cruising value.
With its layout, autonomy and equipment, this Hanse 385 for sale in Barcelona is well suited to coastal cruising, the Balearics or longer passages, with enough space for family or guests and manageable handling for a couple.
