Seller's Description

Fast and comfortable performance-cruiser from the drawing board of German designer judel/vrolijk & co. With her powerful sail plan, modern hull design and efficient appendixes the Hanse 545 offers outstanding performance with comfort and safety in mind. Outfitted for blue water sailing and an off the grid lifestyle, ‘Skyline’ can easily be handled by a small crew thanks to a self-tacking jib, in-mast furling mainsail, electric winches and all lines leading back to the spacious, dual helm cockpit that was designed for short handed sailing.

‘Skyline’ was prepped and sailed across the Atlantic and back to Europe in 2017-2018. The current, 2nd owner, purchased this vessel in 2018 and made many major upgrades for the 2020 Atlantic crossing and extended holiday in the Caribbean. They are nearing the end of their holiday and are looking for the right buyers to carry on the vessel’s adventures in the Caribbean and beyond.

With everything going on in the world, well outfitted and upgraded blue water cruisers are becoming harder and harder to find. Don’t miss this opportunity to get this beautiful Hanse 545! Contact me today for more information and many more recent photos of this fine example of a Hanse 545 that is ready to take you to the far corners of the world.

Calculations

Hull Speed
11.6 kn
Classic: 9.27 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

11.63 knots
Classic formula: 9.27 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
19.4
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
19.4
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
31.0
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

31.02
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
167.5
100-200: light

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
167.46
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
31.5
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
31.54
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shallow draft: 2.43m 7.97’
Shallower draft: 1.95m 6.4’
