Designed by the renowned Scandinavian naval architect Carl Baier, the Hanse 291 remains a standout model for its sailing performance and historical significance. Based on the Aphrodite 29, this 8.9-meter vessel holds the distinction of being the first production yacht to feature a self-tacking jib, a standard-setting innovation for ease of handling.
This 1996 model offers an interior finished in oiled teak, providing a warm and functional cabin environment. With two cabins and one bathroom, the layout maximizes the available space within its 2.7-meter beam. The draft of 1.05 meters allows for versatile sailing in various coastal conditions. Currently held by its first owner, this yacht has been carefully maintained over its lifetime.
Prospective buyers looking for a responsive and manageable cruiser will find that the Hanse 291 balances traditional design aesthetics with practical sailing solutions. An optional port/slip trailer is available for separate purchase, adding to the convenience for owners who prefer flexible storage or transport solutions.
This boat is currently located in Germany and is offered exclusively through Michael Schmidt & Partner, the central agent. VAT is included in the asking price of 21.500 EUR. We have personally inspected this yacht and welcome your detailed inquiries regarding its condition and history.
