1986 Hans Christian 41T

Accomodations:
The interior of this Han Christian is truly a 10 out of 10. Her teak and holly floors, marble counters, brass accoutrements, and marvelous joinerwork are all in showroom condition. She has new Sunbrella upholstery fitted throughout. I could not find a scratch or flaw anywhere.She has her roomy head in the forepeak with Raritan II electric toilet, marble top vanity and tiled separate stand up shower. Moving aft is the famous HC Pullman berth to port with storage under and hanging lockers to starboard. Privacy doors separate the forward cabin from the head and the salon. The voluminous main cabin features a u-shaped dining settee with gorgeous teak table to port and a fore and aft settee to starboard. Both settees feature storage behind and under and beautiful cabinetry outboard.Further aft is the gourmet galley to port with marble counters and gleaming fixtures. Opposite is the forward facing nav station with swingout seat and large chart surface. Aft of the nav station is a 7' secure quarterberth with CARD unit mounted overhead. To port is the separate walk-in workshop with bench mounted vise, ample work surface, storage bins and lockers for tools and spares. You must see this space to appreciate it. No hammering on the dining table or tools rusting in the bilge on this vessel!

Deck and Hull Equipment:
Underwater hull was scraped, filled, barrier-coated and painted in 2003. Fresh bottom job 2007Decks were replaced in 2005 with Plasteek planking epoxied to the subdeck, eliminating 1200+ screws and providing cooler, non-slip decking, under the supervision of the Plasteek technical representative. A photo history of the work is available.GROUND TACKLE: two bowsprit mounted anchors: a 30kilo Delta and a large plow. The Delta is on all chain and the plow a chain/rope mixed rode. Incredible chain inventory on board. Anchorages in the South Pacific were typically 60 to 80 feet, requiring 400+ feet of chain. When anchoring in the Atlantic in 15-20 feet of water 200 feet of chain was removed and distributed through the boat on the centerline in canvas bags. This also proves useful for attaching 50 feet to the stern anchor when needed and makes a bag of chain available for the drogue, if needed.Tigres windlass installed 2003Giant cockpit-accessed gear locker with easy entry to gen-set, autopilot, rudder, bilge pumps, etc., as well as extra fuel tankage aftDeck storage boxes on foredeck and P&S at mast Bimini and dodgerAll exterior brightwork in excellent condition.

Sails and Rigging:
Mainsail by North Sails, new in Spring 2004. It is a fully battened, loose footed, heavy main with jiffy reefing. Additional deep reef installed by North.120% genoa new in 1995 and received little use from 1995 until 2004. With the heavy duty adjustable cars on the sail track, sail shape can be maintained through a wide range of reef angles. Dacron anti-chafe strips have been added to the sail at strategic points.The trysail is a mate to the genoa and is equally reefable. The storm sail is like a get home engine on a power yacht. Made in 1995, it was new in the bag in 2004. It is flown on a dedicated, separate track on the mast next to the mainsail track, thus allowing rapid deployment in storm conditions. All sails professionally renovated after each long passageThe cruising spinnaker is in excellent condition The spinnaker pole is carried vertically on the mast in its hardware and is well secured at both ends.Sayes Rig self-steering. This is the best design possible for the Hans Christian, utilizing a small stern-mounted sail driving a servo rudder which in turn drives the massive barn door rudder. There are no control lines or complicated rigging. A simple adjustment of the sail determines course. This unit runs faithfully, without electricity day after day in the trade winds.
