Having a light, bright interior transforms the feel of a boat, but she needs to sail well too. Graham Snook goes to see what the Hanse 388 is really like

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

See Yachting Monthly December 2017 for the full test

Boat shows are great for comparing boats, find a couple you like, walk off one and onto the next, and you get a real feel for the differences between them.

There are a lot of ways to ‘sell’ boats, such as adding extra lamps, light upholstery and bright cushions. Surprisingly, the Hanse 388 had none of these when she was exhibited at the 2017 Southampton Boat Show and yet she still seemed light compared to many other boats of her class.

Of course, optional pale-coloured French oak interior, and white panels helped but her charcoal grey saloon cushions didn’t. It must have been the 19 windows in the deck then! While she might sound like a greenhouse, she sails like a yacht, and a good one too.

Performance

Although it was October, it was still a lovely day to be out on the Solent. We had the full range of a Force 4 between 10-17 knots.

She is quite a stiff boat to sail and was able to carry full sail on the wind to over 18 knots. If we had more wind, carrying full sail might be pushing our luck, however, even hard-pressed in the gusts she failed to lose grip and was still manoeuvrable while well heeled.

Nothing during the test fazed her, even heading into the wake of passing ferries was uneventful. Once the sails are set, there is little more for the crew to do as the helm has all sail controls within their reach.

Should the crew wish to get involved, there is just enough room to access the winches forward of the wheel. Under engine, this boat had a 2-bladed fixed propeller and at 2,500 rpm she made 6 knots, although down below was a little loud.

At the helm

Should you relinquish one of the two wheels, you may find it hard to get the helm back again – such is the feeling through the Jefa steering; it was delightful.

Finger-light and responsive, with so little friction, it just seemed right. I wish steering systems like this were the rule, rather than the exception.

Under the slightly raised helm seats outboard are deep, handy rope bins, like the 385, however aft, rather than fixed transom lockers there are now flip up seats above lazarette lockers.

Sadly the liferaft locker that opened out on the transom (to port) has gone, without a suitable replacement being offered. Just forward of each of the two helm positions are Lewmar 40ST winches that take all the lines from the mast, including mainsail and jib sheets.

It makes it a bit tricky to raise the mainsail because to get a decent heave on the halyard the crew has to be facing aft – as can’t see what they are pulling – or, if left to the helm, they have the wheel, throttle control, sheets and halyard to contend with, by the end of hoisting the mainsail the latter two had covered the former two.

What’s she like to sail?

The 388 was a lovely boat to sail, with a feel on the helm usually reserved for more expensive yachts. The Jefa steering was light and responsive with excellent feedback.

There was a nice weight to the helm and nothing I could to do during the test would make her lose control or misbehave; she remained composed and in control, whether she was hard on the wind or thrown into a fast tack.

Both the self-tacking jib and the mainsail can be controlled from around the wheels; the mainsheet on both sides, the jib to starboard, the crew can help the helm, but the winch position doesn’t offer the most ergonomic position to winch from.

Once the sails are set the crew can sit back and relax; the helm has all controls at their fingertips with all lines being brought aft to either helm.

Would she suit you and your crew?

If you judge her against other 38 foot boats you may be a little disappointed as her hull length is only 36 feet.

However, compare boats of a similar size and you’ll have a lot to like. I’m not wholly convinced that twin aft cabins at the expense of deck storage space is good on a cruising yacht of this size – I was struggling to think of somewhere to store a dinghy for the crew it will be required to transport – even if the liferaft was stored on deck.

I can only report on the boat I test; a shame because with better deck stowage she could have easily been a five-star boat.

If you want twin aft-cabins buy a bigger boat.

However, with the larger galley and deep deck locker stowage that the single aft cabin layout provides she’s one of the best boats in her class.

The 388 makes sailing easy. If you’re the type of sailor who likes to tweak she may not fulfil your needs unless you opt for some extras, but if you’re after a boat that is easy to sail and delightful on the helm then few other yachts can compete.

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Hanse 388

eBook: How to Avoid Buying the Wrong Sailboat

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18.2 suggests that the Hanse 388 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 29.6 would usually mean that the Hanse 388 would have a tendency to heel uncomfortably in a gust, and need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.

However, as she has much of her ballast concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, she's likely to be considerably stiffer than her published Ballast/Displacement Ratio might suggest.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 201 tells us the Hanse 388 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 26.3 suggests that crew comfort of a Hanse 388 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not the best of news for anyone prone to seasickness. 

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.9 indicates that a Hanse 388 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0. 

Any Questions?

Is the Hanse 388 still in production and, if not, when did production end and how many of these sailboats were built?

Yes, the Hanse 388 is still in production as of 2023. The exact number of boats built is not publicly available, but according to the Hanse Yachts website, there are over 10,000 Hanse owners worldwide.

What, if any, alternative versions of the Hanse 388 were built?

The Hanse 388 is based on the same hull as the previous model, the Hanse 385, which was launched in 2012. The main differences between the two models are the larger hull windows, the deeper keel, the redesigned deck and cockpit, and the updated interior of the Hanse 388.

What do owners of the Hanse 388 have to say about their boats?

Owners of the Hanse 388 seem to be very satisfied with their boats, according to online forums and blogs. They appreciate the boat's speed, stability, ease of handling, spaciousness, and quality of construction. Some of the common issues or complaints that owners mention are related to the engine noise, the fuel capacity, the water supply range, and some minor defects or glitches.

How many people can sleep on board a Hanse 388?

The Hanse 388 can sleep up to seven people on board, depending on the cabin layout chosen. The standard layout offers two double cabins (one forward and one aft) and a convertible saloon that can accommodate one or two people. The optional layout offers three double cabins (two aft and one forward) and a convertible saloon that can accommodate one person.

What sailplan and rig options, if any, are available for the Hanse 388?

The standard sailplan for the Hanse 388 consists of a fractional sloop rig with a self-tacking jib and a mainsail with two reefs. The total sail area is 69m 2 . The optional sailplan offers a larger self-tacking jib (32 m 2 instead of 29 m 2 ), a genoa (38 m 2 instead of 29 m 2 ), or a gennaker (105 m 2 ). The optional rig also offers a taller mast (16.55m instead of 16.15m) and an increased sail area (74 m 2 instead of 69 m 2 ).

What keel options, if any, are available for the Hanse 388?

The Hanse 388 offers two keel options: a shallow keel with a draft of 1.62 m and a displacement of 8,660 kg, or a deep keel with a draft of 2.06 m and a displacement of 8,270 kg. The shallow keel is suitable for sailing in shallow waters or areas with tidal restrictions, while the deep keel offers better performance and stability in deeper waters or stronger winds.

What is the Hanse 388 like to sail?

The Hanse 388 is a pleasure to sail, according to the sailing press and owners. It is fast, responsive, balanced, and easy to control. It can handle a wide range of wind and sea conditions, from light airs to strong gusts. It has a good sail area-to-displacement ratio, a low centre of gravity, and a high righting moment. It also has a self-tacking jib and all lines led to the helm, which makes it ideal for short-handed sailing or cruising with a small crew.

How does the Hanse 388 compare to other sailboats in its class?

The Hanse 388 is a competitive sailboat in its class, which includes other popular models such as the Beneteau Oceanis 38.1, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 389, the Bavaria Cruiser 37, and the Dufour 382. Compared to these boats, the Hanse 388 offers a similar or slightly larger size, sail area, and accommodation space. It also offers a distinctive design, a high level of customization, and a good balance between performance and comfort.

Hanse 388 : The easy-to-sail cruising yacht put to the test

Fridtjof Gunkel

 ·  11.08.2023

Striking lines, self-tacking jib, lots of windows and no winches on the coachroof: typically Hanseatic

Evo instead of revolution, continuity instead of change: at the time, Hanseyachts favoured careful further development instead of new things for the sake of new things. This also applies to the Hanse 388, one of the most important boats in the cruising programme of the Greifswald-based group. YACHT tested the new 2019 volume model.

The size of just under twelve metres means a strong market across all shipyards in the boatbuilding industry, that of charter companies and that of owners. Hanseyachts traditionally finds private customers first and foremost. But the competition is fierce, as they also achieve large quantities in the charter scene through multiple sales, which in turn brings purchasing advantages and a strong market presence.

Completely new developments are expensive: conception, design, engineering, mould construction and marketing all cost money. A redesign saves a large proportion of these costs. The path taken by Hanse: take the tried and tested hull and rework the rest where it makes sense and where it can be improved.

The competition of the Hanse 388:

  • Bavaria C38
  • Sun Odyssey 380
  • Oceanis 37.1

The Hanse 388 brings many small improvements

The Judel/Vrolijk design from 2011 is still up to date, and even the more recent competition offers no significantly visible or noticeable further developments. With its large volume, the Hanse was once a pioneer, but the maximum usable enclosed space is now the class standard.

Improving can mean incorporating experience from the market and from retailers, responding to new trends and implementing fresh or existing ideas or even saving hours. Hanse has implemented many smaller measures.

The sail area has increased slightly compared to the wardrobe of the predecessor Hanse 385, the standard keel is a few centimetres lower, the deck has been given more window areas, the stern and bathing platform have been improved and the interior has been completely redesigned, especially in terms of appearance.

The Hanse 388 stands for fast but easy cruising

The shipyard has stuck to the basic idea of fast but simple cruising sailing. The modern hull with a width of almost four metres and a massive bulkhead, a deep L-keel as standard and a free-standing rudder fin all stand for this. The mainsheet guide in front of the companionway and the self-tacking jib, which has been typical of the shipyard since the Hanse 291 prototype in 1992, as well as the line management system, speak in favour of good operating comfort. All halyards, sheets and outhauls are guided in the deck and through the cockpit coamings via spinlock lever clamps to two Lewmar winches mounted aft within the helmsman's radius of action. The helmsman always has the mainsheet running on both sides within reach, regardless of whether he is steering from windward or leeward.

The lines disappear into storage boxes. Instruments and the control panels for the autopilot and bow thruster are mounted on the coaming

The system has advantages: It is extremely suitable for one-handed use and small crews, and it keeps the superstructure clear. The disadvantages: A lot of line material collects aft. Hanse counters this with two well-dimensioned stowage boxes. Nevertheless, it is necessary to tidy up to prevent unsightly wobbles. Minor drawback: The 40 mm winches offered as standard work at the lower limit, 45 mm would be more appropriate.

Steering the Hanse 388 is a pleasure

As is common today down to 31 feet, the boat is steered with two wheels. This makes it possible to steer far out to the side on the flat coaming with a good view forwards of the foresail, wind lines and waves and keeps the passage in the cockpit clear compared to a larger central single wheel.

On the Hanse 388, two wheels with a diameter of 90 centimetres transmit the steering commands to the quadrant of the single rudder via a chain-wire connection. As standard, these wheels are made of stainless steel, a variant that is rarely seen in real life on modern boats. GRP wheels, which are easier to handle thanks to their oval cross-section and resonate less due to their low weight, are a popular extra.

The Hanse 388 steers quite directly with just one turn from stop to stop. And that is fun. The boat can be wilfully guided to the wind edge. The speeds are very decent, up to 7 knots at the cross with a typical tacking angle of 90 degrees can be achieved at 11 to 12 knots. Below 10 knots, the small self-tacking jib, which is partly responsible for a rather tight sail load factor of 4.2, is likely to cut short the sailing fun, also because it opens too much at the top on courses with shrouded sheets and further reduces efficiency. In return, Hanse used to offer the genoa option with longitudinal rails, an offer that only a few customers took up.

Simple sails, good ergonomics

Hanse now relies on a so-called crossover, nothing other than a code zero, for use in less and more spacious wind conditions. If the boat comes as standard with white and horizontal plain fabric, the optional crossover is sewn together from higher quality cloth and increases the total bill by 5343 euros with Furler. This inevitably adds up to 821 euros for another anchor gallows, which takes up the neck of the sail, as well as halyard, two sheets and padeyes for a total of 940 euros. Two additional winches further forward on the cockpit coaming for 2321 euros are useful, but not essential.

In stronger winds, the sail area is reduced manually with Seldén's excellent single-line reefing system. The rig, equipped with two pairs of long spreaders, is also available in a furling version for an extra 2440 euros.

What is pleasing in the cockpit are the ergonomic dimensions. The space behind the wheels, which is cramped on many, especially smaller boats due to the backstay cockpit, is generous on the 388. If the helmsman is sitting sideways, he can put the wheel between his legs and support himself well, or he can retrofit footrests. The crew is supported by the fixed folding cockpit table (for which a refrigerator is also available) with footrest. The benches are sufficiently long at 1.60 metres, the coamings are high enough and comfortably shaped.

Lots of windows, lots of light

The shipyard's favoured arrangement of the lines leading to the helmsman enables a fog-free cabin roof. The companionway area was designed in a completely unusual way. In addition to the sliding hatch, dark tinted glass panes also cover the partially cut-out roof and the companionway bulkhead. The cabins can be ventilated with optional small deck hatches (1416 euros), and the glass provides significantly more light below deck. Additional window areas on two of the three deck hatches also contribute to this.

The aft cabins have large windows on deck. However, the welcome ventilation hatches are an extra

Also nice: there are two hatches in the foredeck, one in the standing area and one above the berth. Six large hull and six superstructure windows complete the natural light. In contrast, there is little cross-ventilation in the saloon. Although there is a centre hatch and the galley is located on the companionway, there is only one small window in the superstructure that can be opened. And this is only part of the cruising package.

Economic area instead of chamber

As a pioneer of customisation in large-scale production, Hanseyachts continues to offer a wide range of options. For the deck and cockpit alone, there are seven variants ranging from teak to synthetic teak with different wood looks and a variety of joints. The range continues with different colours for the hull, waterline, sprayhood, lazy bag and upholstery, options for the engine and keel, right through to the interior surfaces. Here, classic dark red mahogany is standard, grey Canadian walnut is a fairly new variant and French light oak (test boat) is popular. There is also a mix of familiar and contemporary designs for the flooring, with a classic striped look and three different light-coloured grains. New are wall unit fronts in a choice of two shades of grey. There is also the worktop in the pantry (black or white stone look) and a total of 21 different upholstery covers, including leather.

And last but not least, the interior layout remains variable. Two cabins and a walk-in locker to starboard, which could also be used and labelled as a utility room, are standard. A second bathroom is possible in the foredeck, but this halves the access to the berth. The customer can order a second aft cabin instead of the large forecastle. In this case, the standard gigantic galley shrinks to normal dimensions. In the saloon, there is still the option of two additional berths: the navigation table, which is now well-sized again, can then be lowered and covered with a cushion to extend the berth. The saloon table can be lowered opposite - an arrangement for 2368 euros that creates two to three emergency berths and can thus replace the second aft cabin - or increases the number of berths to a whopping eight.

Larger and higher side shelves would be desirable in the foredeck. But the cupboard space is ample

The standard aft cabin on the port side is trimmed for comfort and volume. There is no locker protruding into the headliner, which would impair the footwell and create a feeling of confinement. Windows in the hull and superstructure as well as one that can be opened towards the cockpit are pleasing. The cupboard space is well dimensioned, but the open storage compartment is too small and above all too shallow for use at sea. The forecastle locker sacrificed to the cabin is partially compensated for by two storage compartments in the cockpit floor, and there is a third in the cockpit to starboard. Nevertheless, in the three-cabin version, lines, fenders and other items can be stored in the three stowage compartments, but additional sails, cockpit cushions or folding bikes would have to sail in one of the compartments.

The Hanse 388 is pretty, if not perfect

In the test version, the Hanse 388 looks bright and friendly on the one hand and yet cosy and aft enough on the other, especially in comparison to the earlier version, which came with a white main bulkhead - purely a matter of taste.

The workmanship is pleasing, even if there are occasionally unsightly joints and transitions, which seem unavoidable in mass production. In any case, the installations are well done and important things such as seacocks, fuses, devices and connections are easily accessible and neatly documented. The latter can also be accessed electronically by the owner: the technical documents can be used online on mobile devices via the Hanse app.

As part of the cruising package, Hanseyachts also installs various sensors on board that can trigger various alarms on the owner's smartphone or allow certain monitoring of the battery voltage, for example. The service itself is free of charge for the first two years.

Hanse 388: A Sailboat Revolutionizing the Balance Between Speed and Comfort

Hanse yachts are renowned for their exceptional performance and innovative design. The Hanse 388 sailboat is no different, offering an exciting blend of speed, comfort, and usability.

Unmatched Speed and Performance

One of the Hanse 388's most noticeable features is its impressive speed. The yacht's hull design and rigging configuration are meticulously planned and executed, making it a formidable contender on the water. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a beginner, the Hanse 388's speed will certainly impress you.

Powerful Hull Design

The Hanse 388 boasts a powerful hull design, contributing significantly to its speed. The judicious use of a broad, flat-bottomed stern and a well-executed chine running most of the hull length offers excellent performance under sail.

Rigging: A Symphony of Efficiency

Furthermore, the rigging on the Hanse 388 is as efficient as it is streamlined. The standard self-tacking jib, coupled with a large mainsail, allows for optimal performance under various wind conditions. The well-balanced sail plan provides an easy and rewarding sailing experience.

Luxurious Comfort: Because Performance Shouldn't Mean Compromise

While the Hanse 388's performance on the water is exceptional, the comfort it offers its occupants is equally impressive. The yacht provides a comfortable and luxurious environment, making every journey an experience to remember.

Spacious Interiors

Hanse 388 is a 37 ′ 5 ″ / 11.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co. and built by Hanse Yachts starting in 2017.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

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

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.

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.

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.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

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.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

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.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

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.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shallow draft: 5.31’/1.62m

CE Certifcate A - 6 / B - 10

The NKD Sailor

Hanse 388 Motoring Speed

Earlier in the spring, I had the pleasure of motoring through the magnificent Finnish Archipelago sea with absolutely no wind and very flat water. As I also had a freshly cleaned bottom, it was a great time to retest the motor cruising speeds of our Hanse 388!

Engine Configuration

Our Hanse (model year 2019) has the standard Yanmar 29 hp engine (3YM30AE) and uses the SD25 saildrive. We have the upgraded propeller, which means a two-bladed Gori folding propeller instead of the two-bladed fixed one.

If you want “one bigger”— and there might be good reasons for that!—, you can upgrade to a 39 hp Yanmar with the model code 3JE5E. Over here in the Baltic sea, we don’t have crazy tidal currents to overcome, and with the 388 being such a great sailing boat (using the crossover, you need just a bit of wind to get it going), we’ve been quite happy with the smaller standard engine.

Test results

As I mentioned, there was no wind and the water was very still (see the video above).

My very simple testing methodology: I adjusted the engine throttle to a specific rpm reading, then waiting for a while until the boat reached its speed equilibrium, and then recorded the maximum sustained speed (SOG).

Here are the readings:

At 1500 rpm, SOG 4.0 knots

At 2000 rpm, SOG 5.1 knots.

At 2200 rpm, SOG 5.5 knots.

At (just a tad under) 2500 rpm, SOG 6.1 knots.

At (almost) 3000 rpm, 7.0 knots.

Quick Analytics

Everything put together in Excel blow. It looks quite linear! (And the figures closely match the ones recorded at the hand-over in Greifswald .)

Adding estimated fuel consumption (from the Yanmar data sheet ), it looks like this:

With a roughly linear speed correlation and an obviously exponential fuel correlation, the most economical motoring— getting the most miles out of the diesel— seems to go as slow as possible. (Note, however, that Yanmar recommends running the engine periodically at full throttle to clean out carbon deposits and give the engine a long and happy life!)

With the Hanse 388’s 160-liter fuel tank, here’s how a full tank of diesel would (theoretically!) translate into nautical miles.

So, motoring along doing 4 knots (my test conditions) at a comfortable 1500 rpm would yield a total range of 586 (!) nautical miles. Then, jumping to the other extreme at 3000 rpm. This would increase the speed, but reduce the potential distance surprisingly much, leaving only 185 miles in a full fuel tank!

In real life, I’m a bit unsure of how accurate these numbers are. I do, however, vividly remember what happened during the last leg of our delivery trip, from Visby to Turku . Following Yanmar’s new engine break-in instructions, we were motoring with high rpms (between 2800 – WOT) for the whole trip, and we did run out of fuel much before reaching the 200-mile mark.

During our everyday cruising, we’re usually motoring only when there isn’t enough wind to sail. So, when the sailing speed drops below about 2-3 knots (depending on the mood and how badly we want to “get there”), we’ll turn on the engine (but keep the mainsail up!). Generally, we then end up in the 1800 – 2100 rpm range with about 4.5 – 5.5 knots of boatspeed.

And it’s very comfortable, I might add!

Being outside, the engine is purring softly, smoothly, and silently (again, see the video above). Inside, it is considerably louder, but the children have had few to no problems sleeping in the aft cabins while we’ve been motoring.

It’s not magical, of course, but rather practical. The magic starts with the off button.
