Hans Christian is a brand of heavilybuilt cruising sailboats.
Most designs are credited to Robert H. Perry, Harwood Ives, Scott Sprague and Tommy Chen.
In the mid 1980s Hans Christian Yachts commissioned the designing of a new series of boats based on a more modern hull design with the goal of the "ultimate cruising sailboat."
Construction was done in Taiwan at Horng Bin Marine Yacht boat yard and in the early 1990s the molds and construction were moved to Thailand.
In February 2017 Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd officially discontinued building the traditional range of Hans Christian sailing yachts including the 33T, 38MkII, 41T, 48T and Christina 43' to make way for production of other types of craft including catamarans under new management.
