1988 Hans Christian 45 Independence Trawler

The Hans Christian 45 Independence is a fiberglass trawler built in 1988, measuring 45 feet in length with a 14-foot beam. Powered by a Lehman diesel engine, this model was designed for serious cruising with the reliability and fuel efficiency characteristic of the Hans Christian brand.

Below deck, the boat offers two cabins and two heads, providing comfortable accommodation for cruising families or those planning extended voyages. The layout reflects the practical design philosophy Hans Christian brought to their trawler line, with thoughtful use of space throughout.

This 45 Independence represents a solid example of the fiberglass trawler construction from that era, built to the standards Hans Christian maintained during their years of production.
