The Hanse 505 is a performance cruising sailboat designed by Judel/Vrolijk and built by Hanse Yachts in Germany from 2014 to 2018. Sitting between the Hanse 495 and Hanse 575 in the range, the 505 features the brand's signature self-tacking jib, twin wheels, and a tall fractional rig that makes her quick on passage while remaining manageable for a short-handed crew. Long waterline, moderate displacement, and a variety of interior layout options — up to five cabins for charter — earned her positive reviews and strong sales in both the private and charter markets. The 505 has been a regular ARC, ARC Europe, ARC January, and ARC+ entry.
