Hans Christian Yachts

Hans Christian is a brand of heavily built cruising sailboats.

History

Most designs are credited to Robert H. Perry, Harwood Ives, Scott Sprague and Tommy Chen. Boat production began in the early 1970s.

In the mid 1980s Hans Christian Yachts commissioned the designing of a new series of boats based on a more modern hull design with the goal of the "ultimate cruising sailboat." The end result was the Christina series with the 52 and 48 models designed by Doug Peterson[1] and Scott Sprague designing 40 and 43[2] versions. Construction was done in Taiwan at Horng Bin Marine Yacht boat yard and in the early 1990s the molds and construction were moved to Thailand.

Hans Christian today

In November 2004 production of the traditional range of Hans Christian Yachts was transferred from Andersen Yachts Ltd to Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd.

In February 2017 Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd officially discontinued building the traditional range of Hans Christian sailing yachts including the 33T, 38MkII, 41T, 48T and Christina 43' to make way for production of other types of craft including catamarans under new management.
