About the CHRISTINA 40 (HANS CHRISTIAN)

Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Scott Sprague and built by Hans Christian, the Christina 40 is a robust cruising yacht with a production run starting in 1986. With a displacement of 22500.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 33.65, it offers a stable, heavy-displacement platform typical of late-80s offshore designs.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over high-speed performance, particularly those comfortable with a cutter rig for versatile sail handling.
Bluewater capability:
With a low capsize ratio of 1.8 and substantial ballast of 8001.0 lb, the Christina 40 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering excellent stability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
Comparables:
Comparable to other heavy-displacement cutters from the mid-1980s such as the Tartan 420 or O'Day 382, due to similar beam (12.67 ft), displacement (22500.0 lb), and emphasis on safe, comfortable passage making.
