1979 Hans Christian 38 MK II

These boats with their full keels, easily manageable sailplans and seaworthy cockpits were built for crossing oceans and extended adventures. Built to a quality unobtainable in modern times – solid teak, extensive bronze, and a robust hull. A very comfortable motion with a full keel. The MkII takes the solid design of the HC38T and adds more beam, a taller mast and more sail area for better performance under sail especially in light air.

Montreaux has benefited from extensive care and a major refit in 1999/2000

Assumable moorage at the desirable Port Sidney Marina.
