Hanse 495 Tengeru

** NOW SOLD **
Tengeru is a 2013 Hanse 495. Tengeru reveals a well-maintained Hanse 495 and is certainly one of highest specified examples in Australia.

These yachts are sleek, easy to handle, and offer excellent performance with a superior amount of useable practical space. All lines are led directly aft to the electric winches just in front of each helm leaving the coach roof completely free from winches or lines. The self-tacking headsail makes for single handed tacks plus genoa tracks have been factory fitted. The sail wardrobe includes the new fully battened mainsail and new self-tacking jib in just June 2023, both by Northsails. There is also a furling Northsails Gennaker (G2).

Accommodation has been finished in Beech and consists of a huge owner's cabin forward with island berth, and separate private head and shower spaces. The large saloon comfortably includes the centre bench which integrates storage, seating and the retractable TV. The well kitted galley includes upgraded refrigeration (two drawer fridges, plus drawer freezer), dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave, and large double sinks. A generous second head and shower sits to port opposite the forward facing dedicated nav station followed by two very good sized double aft cabins. The Volvo 75 (with 3 blade folding prop) is easily accessed via the gas strut assisted lifting stairs plus side access.

Notably there is a marine generator plus full air conditioning, both factory installed. Instrumentation is by B&G and Simrad and includes two updated chart plotters (cockpit and nav station) plus auto-pilot, AIS, and 3G Broadband RADAR. There is a bow thruster, and the large boarding / swim platform is electrically operable.

Along with the investment of new sails in 2023 was new standing rigging and all new covers (dodger, bimini, infill, boom bag, plus table and wheel covers). Tengeru was anti-fouled in June 2024.
Chosen with full teak decks and upgraded black Y spoke composite twin wheels, this is a stunning head turner with a very solid list of significant extras.

Tengeru has been built to survey standards and holds a current AMSA certificate of survey for 2C, 2D, 4C, and 4D - the vessel has completed very little commercial operations.
