Hanse 545

<b>Remarks : Hanse 545 (2010) – EU VAT Paid | Lightly Used | Lying Greece</b> Delivered new in 2010 and privately owned since 2015, this is an exceptionally well-kept example of the popular <b>Hanse 545</b>, designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built in Germany. Originally used as a factory demonstrator, she has since been cruised lightly and maintained to a high standard by a single private family ownership. She offers the perfect balance of <b>performance, comfort, and simplicity</b>, with the Hanse Easy Sailing system — <b>self-tacking jib, in-mast furling</b>, and <b>electric winches</b> — making her easily handled by a couple. Below, the interior is bright, modern, and well laid out for extended living aboard, with <b>three generous cabins</b>, two heads with <b>separate stall showers</b>, a long galley, and excellent ventilation throughout. Low engine and generator hours, <b>VAT paid status</b>, and a recent round of smart upgrades — complete the package. <b>Highlights</b> Yanmar 110 hp engine – only <b>1,031 hours</b> Fischer Panda generator – approx. <b>400 hours EU VAT paid</b> – privately owned and well documented North Sails (2016) in excellent condition <b>In-mast furling</b> mainsail and <b>self-tacking jib</b> 3 electric winches – Easy Sailing setup <b>Air conditioning</b> (3 x Clima Vega Mk3 units) 3 double cabins / 2 heads with <b>separate shower stalls</b> Teak deck in excellent condition Drop-down transom with <b>tender garage</b> Sail locker forward, convertible to skipper cabin LG washer-dryer fitted <b>Why She Stands Out</b> Few examples of the Hanse 545 come to market with such light use and thoughtful upgrades already in place. The combination of <b>low maintenance hours</b>, a <b>cruising-friendly layout</b>, and equipment like <b>air conditioning</b>, a <b>tender garage</b>, and a <b>washer-dryer</b> make her ideal for extended Mediterranean seasons or offshore passages. With her clean lines, flush deck, and German build quality, she offers both sailing pleasure and excellent onboard comfort. <b>Broker’s Remarks</b> A very well-maintained and sensibly upgraded Hanse 545 with <b>EU VAT paid</b>, low hours, and key systems already renewed. Well suited to sailors looking for a stylish, capable cruiser with the features needed for independent Mediterranean cruising. <b>Accommodation : ACCOMMODATION</b> • 3 cabins, 2 heads (both with separate shower stalls) • Forward owner’s cabin with island berth • Ensuite heads with stall shower • Two aft cabins (starboard double, port Pullman) • Aft heads with stall shower • Bright saloon with L-sofa • Lounge seating to starboard • Galley to starboard • Nav station to port • Mahogany joinery • LED lighting • Ivory upholstery • Cabin and saloon fans <b>LAYOUT</b> Owner’s cabin forward with ensuite.
