The Hansa Story

The range of Hansa sailcraft were originally designed by Australian boat designer Chris Mitchell to appeal to those who would love to have a go at sailing, but need a boat that is simple, safe and adaptable to their needs.

The innovative simplicity of Hansa's universal design provides a series of stable and easy to sail craft that offer beginners and experienced sailors of all abilities lots of fun – for recreation or competition sport. 

Made with efficient manufacturing procedures, always aiming for minimal waste and maximum benefit, Hansa sailing boats allow people who would not otherwise be able to enjoy the invigorating sport of sailing to compete at the highest level, or just simply to enjoy a feeling of freedom on the water.

Since 1992, Hansa Sailing Systems has put over 2,800 sailboats on the water in 35 countries on every continent.

The Hansa brand continues to grow in popularity throughout the world, with a network of international distributors and manufacturers and ten models of sailing craft in production.
