Sailing October 2018: Hanse 508 review | Hanse 508. Sailing the latest bluewater cruiser from German-based Hanse Yachts can all be accomplished from the helm, thanks to its self-tracking jib, and all lines led aft to the twin winches at the twin helms, including sheets and reffing lines. | Hanse

Mares Nautical Magazine N°23 - 2019: Hanse 508 Test Review (ES) | With its generously sized cockpit, high freeboard and a second forestay for a jib or staysail alongside the self-tacking genoa, the Hanse 508 immediately makes it clear that it is a true offshore and long-distance sailboat, while maintaining that commitment to comfort that is typical of large-volume boats. | Hanse

Plefsi Φεβρουάριος - Μάρτιος 2019: Hanse 508 Test Review (GR) | A descendant of the popular Hanse 505, the new Hanse 508 is the latest addition to the German shipyard's range.
