Christina 40 Hans Christian

Designed by Scott Sprague and built by the respected Hans Christian yard beginning in 1986, the Christina 40 represents a thoughtful approach to bluewater cruising sailboat design. This 39.83-foot cutter-rigged vessel embodies the traditional Hans Christian philosophy of creating robust, seaworthy boats capable of extended offshore passages while maintaining comfortable accommodations. The Christina 40's fiberglass construction features a fin keel with rudder mounted on a protective skeg, providing excellent directional stability and protecting the rudder from damage during beaching or docking mishaps. With a substantial displacement of 22,500 pounds and 8,000 pounds of ballast, this yacht delivers the stability and sea-kindly motion that serious cruisers demand. The generous beam of 12.67 feet creates spacious interior volume while maintaining seaworthiness. The cutter rig configuration with 771 square feet of sail area offers excellent sail handling flexibility, particularly valuable during challenging offshore conditions. The boat's comfort ratio of 33.65 indicates motion characteristics well-suited for extended passages, while the capsize screening formula of 1.8 reflects appropriate stability for ocean voyaging. With a hull speed of 7.71 knots and powered by a reliable 66-horsepower engine, the Christina 40 appeals to cruisers seeking a proven platform for serious long-distance sailing adventures.
