MANUFACTURER HISTORY:

Hans Christian Yachts has forged a name for itself starting in the early 1970s using quality Taiwanese boatyards; its founder, John Edwards has always had an eye for spying talent. Notable boats include the Bob Perry designed and much copied 34T, Harwood Ives’ space-efficient 33T, and of course the classic 38T and its MkII sequel.

By late 1984, the company played with the idea of a new boat with focus on interior and a hull form that would bring it up to date with the latest design thinking. The result was the Hans Christian 41 Traditional, which at its introduction in 1985 gave the company an offering that slotted between their two 38 models and the 43.

The design came from Scott Sprague with a lot of input from Edwards. Sprague at the time had become Hans Christian’s chief designer after the departure of Harwood Ives who had penned many of the prior boats.

The first boats were built in Taiwan by South Coast Ship Building Yard until Hans Christian Yachts relocated to Thailand in 1990 to stay competitive. In Thailand the progression of builders went from Dutch East Indies Trading Co (founded by Edwards), Andersen Yachts, and eventually Pantawee Marine who currently builds all of the boats from the Hans Christian line.
