HANSE 400 Used Sailing Yachts for Sale in Japan

This is a HANSE 400 (40 feet) that was newly built, launched, and registered in May 2009 (Heisei 21). The popular HANSE 400 is a boat that combines the spacious living quarters unique to a 40-foot vessel with excellent sailing performance. Featuring the popular twin-rudder configuration, it offers stable handling that allows you to fully enjoy cruising. The exterior of the hull shows no major, noticeable scratches and is in good overall condition; while the teak deck has some dirt, I believe it is in decent shape. The engine is running well and is ready for cruising as is. However, water leaks have been detected inside the cabin, and the humidity feels high; therefore, we recommend considering this purchase with the expectation of refreshing or repairing the interior. That said, this also presents an opportunity to acquire a popular model at a relatively affordable price. The HANSE 400 combines sailing performance with comfortable living space. If you’re interested, please come view the boat in person to assess its condition. The current owner purchased this boat in 2009, when it was being used as a display and test-sailing boat by a dealer. Since then, the owner has reportedly enjoyed participating in club races and going on long cruises. It is reported that slight water seepage began around the time a self-tacking jib and seat covers were added to the deck. The owner has applied caulk to the deck screws while trying to locate the source of the leak and has made efforts to improve the situation, but the issue has not been fully resolved. Additionally, the electrical systems—including navigation instruments and the autopilot—are malfunctioning and will require repairs if necessary. Although the boat is still used for sailing, the owner, who is elderly, is considering switching to a smaller vessel, leading to this sale. The hull and engine are in good condition, so please consider this opportunity. The boat is currently moored at a marina in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Since it cannot remain at this mooring location indefinitely, removal from the marina is required.
