Hanse Yachts – telescopic keel

With large yachts and shallow bays: New telescopic keel makes the Hanse 630e even more attractive! With a new keel construction the draught of the Hanse 630e is now hydraulically adjustable between 3.10 and 2.35 metres. To the crews and owners this means additional access to smaller harbours and shallower waters without loss of the fine sailing characteristics of the Hanse – whether it is the Aegean or Antigua! The new telescopic keel is now available as an option.
HanseYachts continues to pursue the target, which they set for themselves. That is to find particularly innovative solutions for the owners. So far the draught automatically increased with the size of the yacht limiting access to many interesting sailing areas of the world unless the choice of shallower draught and a reduction in sailing ability was made. Solutions, such as the short or hoisting keels had either a negative effect on the speed and performance or required valuable space in the yacht´s interior. In cooperation with the construction office judel/ vrolijk & co a new telescopic keel construction was developed, which does not require any space in the interior, and which enables the owners to cruise in the shallower waters of the world.
The largest yacht built in series in Germany ever provides more flexibility with simple handling at the same time. Even a small crew can sail this yacht safely, fast and now in significantly more areas. Above the water everything remains as it was – and under water there is more space!
