Hans
Christian Sailboats
A LOT of
folks have written to me about Hans Christian Yachts, the
manufacturer of Candide. They want to know how she
sails (great, even into the wind), what it's like to live
on board one (read the rest of this Website for an
answer), and if I can provide additional information about
her (keep reading...).
Links Specific to
Hans Christian Yachts:
First,
allow me to provide a few links concerning Hans Christian
Yachts:
www.HansChristianYachts.com
This is the
official website for the manufacturer. You can learn
an awful lot about the boat from these pages. Be
sure to check out their "Interesting Links" section, which
includes a hyperlink back to my site! I sent an
e-mail to the current owner of Hans Christian Yachts and
asked him to visit my site. Next thing I know, he's
listed it on the official corporate pages! Pretty
cool!
www.HansChristian.com
This is the
site of the Hans Christian Owner's Association. It
is one-stop shopping for all things that are Hans
Christian! Be sure to check out the discussion
forum, which includes a search engine. You can find
out just about anything you want to know about these boats
by visiting this site. They were also gracious
enough to include a link to my site.
Cloud
Nine
Cloud Nine
is a Hans Christian 43' Traditional owned by the Deboise/Rose
cruising family. They've been cruising around the
West Coast for several years now.
Seiku Home
Page
This is a
Website that I stumbled across. Seiku is a 38' Hans
Christian Traditional, just like Candide! I don't
think they're liveaboards because the interior photographs
don't show any clutter. Of course, they could be
just extremely tidy! ;-)
Rainbow
Dancer
If you want
to charter a Hans Christian (or just go for a day sail),
are going to be in the Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) area, and
happen to be gay, well, joining this crew would be a great
way to learn about Hans Christians.
Canopus
This French
guy sailed his Hans Christian alone across the Atlantic.
You can read about his adventure at this site (in English
or French).
Magazine Articles:
Download
these while you can, because I'm not exactly sure if it's legal for me
to post them from this site. The first time I get a
threatening letter from an attorney, I'll have to yank these
