The seller, a professional Captain, is willing to offer comprehensive training on the boat's systems and sailing techniques. All records have been kept with the boat and all systems are in working order.
The boat bottom was peeled and had four coats of WEST Epoxy and Petit Barrier coat applied 8 years ago (Zero Blisters). New Dodger, new hatch, and helm covers. New four deep cycle battery bank was replaced this year along with an extra set of sails in good to excellent condition. Also comes with a new Italian-made sea drogue worth over $2,800.
There are a few small jobs still left for the new owner like refreshing the cap-rail (bright work) and a little touch-up paint on the bowsprit. Once on board, you'll feel how solid this boat really is!!

TIMELESS ELEGANCE AND STYLE ARE ON FULL DISPLAY WITH THE SOLID BUILT 1985 HANS CHRISTIAN 38T - SELLER WILLING TO FINANCE WITH GOOD DOWN PAYMENT!
Welcome aboard this spectacular 1985 Hans Christian 38T, fully equipped for cruising and more. Crafted by Harwood Ives and custom-built by Hans Christian Yachts, this classic vessel embodies the essence of sailing on the high seas.
This 38-foot fiberglass hull beauty is a heavy displacement, double-ended cutter rig designed specifically for blue water adventures but makes for a fantastic liveaboard as well.

The solid reputation of the Hans Christian has a devoted owner base, this vessel stands out for its superior build quality and timeless design.
Her stunning interior is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and is filled with beautiful Burmese Teak cabinets, cupboards, and drawers. Featuring two cabins and a quarter sea berth along with a spacious enclosed head that includes a private fully tiled shower. Navigate the entire cabin with a wide center aisle and for your taller crew, you'll enjoy 6 foot 6 inches of headroom. A large 'Butterfly Hatch' brings in the light above the U-shaped dinette settee just opposite a comfortable couch style settee to stretch out and relax.
You'll enjoy the gourmet U-shaped galley boasting genuine marble countertops with ample room for meal prep, a fully functional propane 3 burner cooktop, oven, and topside fridge/freezer surrounded by those teak cupboards, cabinets, and drawers.
A quote from the Seller, an experienced Captain in his own right - "Personally, I am most impressed with all of the self-tailing bronze winches that are placed all over the boat. I've never seen a boat with so much bronze jewelry. not even on another Hans. I can imagine what those winches alone much have cost when they were installed. As you probably know self-tailing winches are already ridiculously expensive but to have them in bronze is quite the unicorn. This true 'Blue Water Boat' is built like a tank and laden with teak and bronze jewelry!"
The Hans Christian's Telstar keel with clipper bow and duel roller furling head sails make her a dream boat for liveaboards and seasoned sailors alike. This vessel is outfitted with modern amenities, including a Raytheon Auto Helm, Monitor Wind Vane, Magnum inverter, and solar panels (extra working panels included). The recent upgrades, such as fresh bottom paint and a new dodger, ensure optimal performance and comfort.
Other great features include an electric windlass, microwave, diesel cabin heater, cruising sea drogue, spinnaker and an extra set of sails. This boat with the traditional V-berth fore-peak, could not be more of a dream boat for the liveaboard or the saltiest of hard-core cruising sailors. As mentioned - the Seller will consider Private Financing to get you started! Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of sailing history - with reportedly only 5 of these unique vessels built in 1985. The perfect boat for exploring the Puget Sound or completing that dream of cruising the World!
