2003 Hanse 311 | 32ft

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. The efficient L-galley, enclosed head, and full-size nav station create an inviting liveaboard or coastal cruiser layout. A modern self-tacking jib and 7/8 fractional rig make Ariel perfectly suited to short-handed sailing.

Meticulously upgraded and professionally maintained, Ariel is a standout example of the Hanse 311, for fast, effortless cruising. Repowered, new rudder, and a freshly serviced rig, she’s a perfect Pacific Northwest cruiser for couples or families who appreciate quality and simplicity. 

Clean, dry, and turn key, Ariel is truly sail-away ready.
