Ciao Bella is an impressive Hanse 505 launched in 2015, representing a generation of Hanse yachts that solidified the brand as one of the largest and most successful sailing yacht builders globally. Few others have so magically been able to blend performance, ease of handling, and cruise functionality. The Judel / Vrolijk designed hull is responsive and efficient.
This example is optimized for performance while also staying true to the design—an incredibly easy to handle quick cruiser. In 2023 a major rigging refit was undertaken. A Harken switch track was installed on the mast, making sail pack up a breeze. A traveler was added on the coachroof (not in the cockpit). Additional winches were installed so there are six in total, four of which are electric. Additional Garmin instrument displays were neatly installed on the coachroof to complement the comprehensive nav pack.
Below decks the space is light, airy, functional and beautiful. There are three double cabins plus a very practical utility room / storage cabin. The large owners cabin is forward with island berth and completely separated head and shower spaces. The galley and saloon are nicely divided by the centre island seating with storage and retractable TV. Refrigeration was upgraded on original order so there are two large drawer fridges plus a drawer freezer.
The safety package is well above expectations with the yacht having previously met CAT 1 racing standards. The sail wardrobe is equally above what would be expected, with a new carbon main in 2023 plus delivery main, a genoa and jibs (all furling), plus furling Code 0, an asymmetric kite and four symmetric kites.
Ciao Bella would suit those seeking genuine performance in a larger cruising yacht.
