1986 Hans Christian 43 Christina

The Hans Christian 43 is a blue-water cruising sailboat built on a fiberglass hull and designed for extended passages and comfortable living aboard. She carries a 100-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine and cruises at 8 knots. Her 43-foot length and 13-foot beam combine seaworthiness with manageable proportions, and her cutter rig offers strong upwind sailing performance.

This boat is equipped for independent cruising with electric sail furling, electric winches, a generator, electric windlass, and dual bow and stern thrusters for precise maneuvering. Navigation and onboard systems are supported by a complete electronics package. Large fuel and water tanks extend cruising range and reduce the need for frequent resupply.

Below deck, the interior features teak throughout. The galley is well-proportioned and the salon provides comfortable entertaining space. Climate control is provided by dual 16,000 BTU air-conditioning units. Electric dinghy davits allow tender handling from the deck. The cabin layout and accommodations support extended time at anchor or in port, with good livability for a boat of this size and era.
