Hans Christian 33T

Hans Christianbåtarna tillhör de verkligen supertunga klassiska långfärdsbåtarna. Inget kan stoppa dem. Om man dessutom gillar klassiska linjer så kan en Hans Christian vara rätt val.

Jag har i många år fascinerats av Hans Christian serien som finns från 33 upp till 52 fot.

Hans Christianbåtarna ger ett mycket gediget intryck och med en torrvikt på 8.5 ton så är det en verklig tungdeplacements båt. Inredningen är massiv ädelträ, bänkskivor i pentry och på toaletten är i grön marmor! Alla ventiler är av polerad mässing och runda, precis som på båtar hundra år äldre.
