1984 Hans Christian 43 Traditional

Boat Overview

From her widow-maker bowsprit and spoon shaped bow to her canoe stern with a pulpit and davits, she is amongst the prettiest cruisers out there. Her interior furnishings are great, with brightly colored cushions in the salon, all new bedding for both berths (never slept on), huge galley, tiled shower stall and more she feels as elegant as she looks. If traditional designs excite you, you should take a close look at Irreversible.

Accommodations

The Master stateroom is forward with a large berth, shelves, reading lights, drawer and cubby storage as well as two opening ports, and an overhead hatch. The Head compartment is just aft of the forward stateroom to port. It features a marble countertop as well as a tiled shower stall. Next aft is the salon with a C-shaped settee and a double drop leaf dining table to port and a straight settee opposite. The salon has been reupholstered with a long wearing upholstery fabric. The salon has huge amounts of storage space as well with lockers outboard and under the seating. The nav station is next aft to starboard with a large seat and a good sized desktop and aft of the nav station is a factory supplied custom storage cabin with drawers and bins. To port across from the nav station is the large well equipped galley. With microwave, three burner propane stove with oven, large deep double stainless steel sinks, large top loading fridge/freezer with three lids, laminate countertops and cabinets outboard. The four cylinder Isuzu diesel lives below the galley sinks and has very good access. Aft of the galley is a double quarter berth cabin with storage lockers and drawers as well as a dressing seat.

It is six steps up to the large deep cockpit. With cockpit cushions, a large bimini top and a dodger the cockpit is a very comfortable area to operate the boat or to just hang out. The teak decks and teak pads on the cabin top are in good condition with only a few exceptions.

As a cutter rigged ketch she allows for many different sail configurations to suit the conditions and breaks it all into smaller sails to make them easier to handle. With a furler for the genoa, hank on staysail and classic main and mizzen the sails are all easily handled.

All batteries replaced in August 2024.

She comes with a barely used 2010 Achilles inflatable that has spent almost her entire life indoors.
