Christina 52 Hans Christian

Designed by Doug Peterson and built by Hans Christian beginning in 1987, this 51.50-foot cutter represents a compelling blend of performance and cruising capability. The Christina 52 embodies Peterson's talent for creating boats that excel both as comfortable offshore cruisers and capable passage makers, featuring a modern fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration that balances directional stability with responsive handling. With a displacement of 31,350 pounds and 11,500 pounds of ballast, this fiberglass yacht offers the substantial build quality Hans Christian became renowned for during their production years. The cutter rig provides excellent sail handling versatility for offshore work, while the 1,081 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance with a theoretical hull speed of 8.59 knots. The boat's comfort ratio of 32.63 indicates a motion that favors seaworthiness over speed, making long passages more comfortable for crew, while the capsize screening formula of 1.78 reflects good stability characteristics for offshore sailing. The 75-horsepower engine provides reliable auxiliary power for challenging conditions or maneuvering in tight quarters. This Christina 52 appeals to serious cruising sailors seeking a well-built, ocean-capable yacht with proven pedigree for extended voyaging and coastal exploration.
