2003 Hanse 311 for Sale – 32 ft – Sidney, BC, Canada

The Hanse 311 designed by the acclaimed Judel/Vrolijk & Co. offers the ideal balance of German build quality, lively sailing performance, and intelligent cruising comfort. Ariel is the perfect example of a well-kept Pacific Northwest vessel, showing major recent refit work and ongoing professional care. She carries a 2022 Volvo D1-20F (18 hp) diesel with 130S saildrive (250 hrs), a new rudder and stock (2024), bottom paint (2025), and a fully inspected rig (Blackline Marine, 2024).

Inside, her bright mahogany interior comfortably sleeps 4–6 in a forward V-berth, large quarter-berth, and convertible salon.
