1983 Hans Christian 39 PH

This 1983 Hans Christian 39 Pilothouse is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for extended passagemaking and self-sufficient voyaging. The 39-foot hull carries a 12.5-foot beam and draws power from a single 38-horsepower Isuzu diesel engine, which logs approximately 2,550 hours. Maximum speed reaches 6 knots, with typical cruising around 5 knots. A 9-kilowatt Universal diesel generator provides independent electrical power, backed by new AGM batteries and a 400-watt solar array.

The boat's safety and handling systems reflect its blue-water mission. Solid stainless-steel lifelines, a Schaefer in-boom furling mainsail with removable cutter stay, and fully updated standing rigging (2018) ensure confident sail management in all conditions. A bow thruster aids docking in confined spaces, while AIS strengthens offshore situational awareness. Recent topside hull paint and teak work on toe rails and deck were completed in 2025, and the bottom received fresh antifouling paint the same year.

Accommodations consist of two cabins and one head. The interior emphasizes cruising comfort and autonomy, with air conditioning supplementing the engine and generator for climate control. Fuel capacity totals 225 gallons across three fiberglass tanks, while water storage provides 200 gallons in stainless-steel tanks. Ground tackle includes a 25-kilogram Vulcan anchor on 250 feet of galvanized chain and a CQR anchor on 50 feet of chain. An aluminum-hulled RIB tender on custom davits completes the equipment suite, offering reliable access to remote anchorages. The PSS packless sealing system on the 1¼-inch stainless-steel propeller shaft reflects attention to durability and maintenance reduction.
