Designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry and built by Taiwan's Union Ship Co. starting in 1974, this classic cruising yacht represents the golden era of serious bluewater sailing boats. Perry's design philosophy shines through in the boat's traditional long keel configuration, which provides exceptional directional stability and seakindly motion in offshore conditions. The cutter rig configuration offers versatility for various sailing conditions, allowing crews to balance sail combinations effectively in both light air and heavy weather. With a substantial displacement of 22,000 pounds and ballast ratio supporting the long keel design, this yacht exhibits the steady, predictable sailing characteristics that made Hans Christian boats highly regarded among serious cruisers. The impressive comfort ratio of 36.83 indicates exceptional seaworthiness and motion comfort, making extended passages more pleasant for crew. The conservative capsize screening formula of 1.67 further reinforces this boat's suitability for offshore work. Built during an era when Taiwanese yards were producing some of the world's finest fiberglass cruising yachts, this model exemplifies the robust construction and attention to detail that Hans Christian boats were known for. This is fundamentally a passage-maker designed for couples or small crews seeking a capable, traditional cruising platform for coastal and offshore adventures.
