HIGHTLIGHTS

Erin and I have personally sailed AHYOKA in some spritely off-shore conditions with her owner.  On a 30-hour non-stop run from Ft. Lauderdale down to Key West with 15-17 knots off the port beam we had hours of 8-9 knots of boat speed on a summer moonlit night.  Spectacular!  Her performance keel has her pointing into the wind like she’s on rails.  This is an amazingly super fun boat in a wide range of sea conditions.  In lighter air, her Bahama blue asymmetrical spinnaker helps AHYOKA achieve the same hull speed as wind speed.

HULL

Her long waterline, plumb bow, tall hull sides, wide beam and performance package features make the Hanse 345 a fun, comfortable, and very fast boat.  The extra beam carried so far aft allows for a spacious cockpit, large aft starboard cabin and voluminous storage closet to port.  Unlike yachts this size just a few years ago, AHYOKA easily reaches speeds of 6.5-9.0 knots at various points of sail.  Though she moves easily with minimal wind, the fun really kicks in with a 12+ knot breeze.
