About the HANS CHRISTIAN 41
Later available as the TRADITIONAL 41 from Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd. in Thailand.
Designed by Scott Sprague and built by Anderson Yachts Ltd. (TAIWAN), the Hans Christian 41 is a robust cutter-rigged cruiser with a production run of 55 hulls completed in 1985. Its heavy displacement of 35500.0 lb and high comfort ratio of 46.2 reflect a design philosophy prioritizing stability and seakeeping over speed.
- Best for:
- This vessel is ideally suited for serious coastal cruisers and bluewater adventurers who prioritize safety, comfort, and offshore capability over planing performance or tight maneuverability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.62 and a displacement-to-length ratio of 317.23, the Hans Christian 41 is inherently stable and well-suited for offshore passages, though its fin keel and 6.17 ft max draft limit access to very shallow anchorages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 41 and the Tartan 41, as they share similar heavy-displacement characteristics, cutter rigs, and a reputation for robust offshore construction from the mid-1980s.
