'Koonya' is a 2014 Hanse 445 listed exclusively for sale with YOTI on Pittwater.
Koonya is a thoughtfully outfitted Hanse 445 that blends easy performance with comfortable live-aboard spaces. The tidy teak decks, clean twin-wheel cockpit and smart deck ergonomics make her a boat you'll enjoy sailing and entertaining from day one. Under sail, she's light on the helm, easily driven, and rewarding to trim with 2 electric winches that can be controlled on the helm pedestal. A performance cruiser that's genuinely manageable short-handed thanks to her self-tacking headsail and well-thought-out cockpit.
There are a few things that sets Koonya apart, firstly this is a one owner boat that has been very well specified from the original build and meticulously maintained. Secondly is the recent 2025 refresh and service work. The mast wire rigging was replaced in 2025 and she carries new Hood sails (5-batten main and 4-vertical tri-radial self-tacking jib, both 2025) plus a lightly used Hood Code Zero on a Harken furler. The saildrive and engine (1450 hours) were fully serviced in July 2025 and hull maintenance is up to date with antifoul, topside polish and Propspeed completed July 2025, a real saving for the next owner.
Systems and comfort have been addressed for relaxed cruising and easy short-handing including a retractable Quick 4.3 kW bow thruster, B&G Zeus touch chart plotter (one on each helm pedestal) and autopilot, fusion speakers in the saloon and cockpit, solar panels fitted on the bimini, black mesh sun covers to form full cockpit enclosure. The boat is very well equipped to sail away.
The interior is a practical three-cabin layout with two heads and two showers. The layout in the forward cabin cleverly separates the head and the shower into distinct compartments, the head on one hull with the shower/wash space on the other hull, allowing for simultaneous use without compromising privacy, ideal for couples or guests sharing the space. It also has a large 12V refrigerator (130 L) plus an extra Waeco 50 L fridge/freezer.
Extras include a Highfield 2.7m dinghy with Suzuki 2.5 HP outboard, extensive safety gear (EPIRB, life raft included), and healthy battery/house and inverter system.
