Hans Christian 38 MKII

Hans Christian 38 MKII is a 45 ′ 11 ″ / 14 m monohull sailboat designed by Harwood Ives and built by Shing Fa Boatbuilding Co., Ltd. and Hans Christian Yachts between 1977 and 1989.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

From BlueWaterBoats.org :

The Hans Christian 38 MkII dates back to 1978, introduced only two years on from its predecessor, the popular Hans Christian 38 Traditional . They share the same designer and the same Taiwanese boatyard, Shin Fa. To the untrained eye, it’s easy to mistake the two. The 38 MkII continues with the same family looks and configuration; a traditional heavy displacement double-ender, with a springy sheerline, large bowsprit and a cutter rig. However the MkII has some important improvements made to its underbody.

In the interests of more boat speed, the beam was carried further forward and aft, the bottom sections flattened and the turn of the bilge was tightened. The forefoot to the keel was made shallower and the rudder placed further aft. Followers of boat design will note Bob Perry had great success with evolving this kind of hull form in a similar direction with his series of performance double-ended full keelers like the Tayana 37 (1975), Baba 40 (1980), and Tashiba 36 (1985).

In addition to the hull changes, to mitigate its predecessor’s tendency for weather helm, the mast was moved 12 inches forward, and to improve light air performance the rig was three feet taller and carried 11% more canvas. The result was a boat that performed substantially better all round, it pointed higher and could move much better in light airs.

Belowdecks, the 38 MkII can be immediately recognized by her sink which is mounted on an island bench, gone is the U-shaped galley. Another important change worth considering is the placement of the engine to under the companionway stairs, in the 38T this was located under the sink which provided better accessibility.

Although the 38 MkII offered better performance, it’s somewhat surprising that the original 38 Traditional was considerably more popular. We’re told by Craig Beckwith, VP of Sales for Hans Christian Yachts during that period, the better performing Telstar Keel** offered on the 38 Traditional took a lot of the market from the MkII, and for financial reasons the Telstar Keel did not become an option on the MkII. In total 87 MkII boats were built with production ceasing around 1989, roughly the time when Hans Christian Yachts shifted their operations to Thailand. The molds have survived (though in rather bad condition) and in theory the boat could be produced once again, with some investment in refurbishing the molds.

a bit more often than i should be - they look like a damn nicely made, . I'd like to hear from any owners of these - endorsements, dislikes, anything really.
thnx, charlie.

Boat: Nantucket Island 33
. Looked at a HC33, couple of HC38's and a HC43. Beautiful , but the thought of maintaining all that external , especially on an older boat and not full time is somewhat daunting. This was the major factor that dissuaded us in the end. A few of other negatives for us (and not necessarily for others), though not deal breakers, were the cockpits of the 33 and 38 (odd shape and somewhat cramped) and the seemed to be somewhat underpowered enginewise for the most part. I did fall in love with a 43 but the vee berth just didn't do it for me.

I guess after looking at a few, I'd sum up my opinion by saying that they are an excellent cruiser but not a boat for weekend or coastal cruising, which I know is stating the "bleeding obvious". We've since fallen for the of centre cockpits, but I'd certainly revisit the HC for a full time long distance cruiser.

Boat: Hans Christian 41T
on the traditional, a modified on the tellstar, and a pullman on the MKii, but poorest built as far as I could tell) and 43's (same great as the 38t with a bit more space) before we fell for our 41(designed to incorporate the best selling features of the 3 previously mentioned models including our beloved pullman berth as well as a modified with a skeg hung rudder) . The 33's, 38's, 43's, 41's, etc were all built in different yards and build quality and practices can very significantly from model to model. I suggest that you take a look at the Hans Christian owners forum if you haven't already hanschristian.org. All of the external does seem to intimidate a lot of folks. However, we have been using Cetol natural teak for 3 years now and spend 2 half-days 2 times a year (4 half-days total a year) maintaining the teak.

Boat: Valiant 40 (1975)
. Tends to seasaw less. I also worry about getting over the stern. But he has been sailing 50 years and absolutely loves his HC. Each to his own I think.
25-09-2014, 09:44  
is impeccable. as mentioned the exterior teak is a PITA. I removed my teak decks in Trini , had the painted and layed down Treadmaster. A plus is that HC cored their decks with little squares so water migration is limited. I also replaced the forward teak with a modern style . The push pit is nice for storing stuff, fenders etc. The big "treasure chest" boxes look lovely, but are teak strips over asian ply... by now most are likely rotten.
The boat wallows pretty bad going into a decent chop.
I would strongly recommend you find one with a good size . Mine had the old 30hp... not enough. You need a higher hp to make progress thru any seas while motorsailing. A 4-108 50 hp would be about right.
I found the Pullman berth claustrophobic, hot and hard to get out of.
The are buried under the furniture and could be a real issue at this point as these boats are getting pretty old. Be sure to check out how you would get them out of the model you look at. - Elmore Leonard

Bluewater Sailboat – Hans Christian 38 Traditional

The Bluewater Sailboat Hans Christian 38 Traditional (also referred to as the 38T) is a heavy displacement double-ender that exudes the vintage sense of a bygone era. Its origins can be traced back to Colin Archer’s work, which inspired William Aitkin with Thistle and Eric, from which arose Crealock’s famous Westsail 32, the boat that not only “launched a thousand dreams,” but a boatbuilding boom eager to meet the demand for the salty Scandinavian double-ended styling.

Hans Christian Yachts, created in Long Beach, California by John Edwards, a schoolteacher regarded as a dreamer and oddball, had ideal timing. He was among the first of a wave of American entrepreneurs to capitalise on Taiwan’s low-cost yet skilled boatbuilding sector. He was also the first to contact the now-famous Bob Perry about designing a production boat, the CT54. It was followed by the Hans Christian 34 Traditional, which established the design direction for the Hans Christian line for over two decades. The company’s relationship to Perry, however, did not persist, and by 1974, Hans Christian Yachts had switched to Harwood Ives. The 38T, debuted in 1976, was Ives’ third Hans Christian yacht.

Hans Christian 38 T

  • LOA: 30′ 3″
  • LWL: 21′ 8″
  • Beam: 8′ 9″
  • Draft: 4′ 3″
  • Displacement: 9,000 lbs
  • Sail Area: 410 sqft
  • Designer: Carl Alberg
  • Year Introduced: 1962
  • Year Ended: 1987
  • Builder: Whitby Boat Works

The Bluewater Sailboat 38T, like her siblings from the same era (43, 36, and 33), is visually stunning and very seaworthy, having completed numerous circumnavigations. Owners adore their liveaboard luxury and “cadillac ride,” but critics will point out their subpar “heavy displacement” boat speed.

Above the waterline, the style is classic Hans Christian, with a long bowsprit, a springy sheerline, and a rounded canoe stern covered with huge dollops of teak. A hull with exceptionally rounded sections, a full keel with a forefoot cutaway, and a large “barn door” rudder are all found below the waterline.

As you might expect, they are sturdy Bluewater Sailboats designed to cruise in safety and luxury. In their 1999 review, Practical Sailor Magazine mentioned one US Coastguard who made a mid-winter trip from Annapolis while the boat was ice-bound.

This Bluewater Sailboat while riding up on the ice, the weight of the boat crushes through the path, which is a traditional ice-breaking technique. The only damage identified during a haulout is a small worn spot of bottom paint.

Performance

She’s not lightweight when underway, weighing over 30,000 pounds in ordinary cruising trim, and light air performance suffers despite carrying a significant amount of sail area. Ignoring later variants of the boat, the standard 38T doesn’t point very high; owners report that 40 degrees of visible wind are about the best. She can make 6 knots to weather and 7 knots off the breeze with 10-15 knots. The first reef is normally taken in at 15-18 knots, and when the winds increase up, weather helm occurs. Of course, in heavy airs and seas, the Hans Christian 38T shines; she’s seaworthy and dry, with no bobbing or banging around in the harsh stuff.

The 38T variants are as enigmatic as the sea itself.  The original 38T was available as a cutter or ketch, with the cutter being far more popular. There were two interior configuration options: a pullman berth or a v-berth in the forepeak. Soon after the boat’s debut, a “MkII Interior” was made available, with the pullman bunk moved further aft and the head relocated to the forepeak. The main bulkhead was shifted aft on these boats to make way for the pullman berth.

Around 1977, the 38T spawned a whole new sailboat, the Hans Christian 38 MkII, which was somewhat confusingly called. This twin, again designed by Ives, had flatter bottom sections with beam carried further forward and aft, a bigger rig with more sail, and an interior arrangement similar to the 38T “MkII Interior,” with the exception of the Sailboats Galley sink being placed on an island bench. Look for a truncated teak coaming at the extreme stern of the boat to immediately identify these (unique to only the MkII and the Hans Christian 33 Traditional). When hauling out, you’ll see the rudder is more aft. The higher “MkII rig” from this boat was offered as an option on the 38T, but the rig proved overpowered for the 38T until the Telstar Keel was introduced in the following chapter.

In 1984, one of the two 38T manufacturing molds underwent surgery to improve performance. The leading edge of the keel was pushed aft, a considerable bite was taken from the trailing edge, and a revised skeg-mounted rudder was added. The redesigned vessel was known as the “Telstar” Hans Christian 38 Traditional. According to Beckwith, the Telstar Keel was a significant improvement, pointing higher and improving light wind performance in particular.

“Scott Sprague provided design assistance, but the region to cut the keel was determined by John Edwards, the creator of Hans Christian.” When the first sea trial was held in Taiwan, there was some trepidation. Nobody was sure what to anticipate. But, to my surprise, the boat sailed like a dream. When compared to the older 38 Traditional, which sailed more on her head sails, the helm was as light as a feather. We also extended the mast’s lead by extending the spar 12 inches forward, greatly lowering weather helm.” Craig Beckwith’s 

The Telstar 38T came standard with the taller “MkII rig.” The “MkII interior” was no longer an option for the Telstar 38T since the compression post’s increased position (12 inches forward) hindered the would-be bunk entry. This was also true for the small number of 38T boats equipped with this “MkII rig.”

Beckwith thinks that 167 Hans Christian 38 Traditionals, including 30 Telstars, were constructed in a production run that outnumbered Hans Christian 38 MkIIs (87 built). Both boats went out of production about 1989, when the boat industry was slammed with both barrels of a recession and a luxury tax. Shin Fa Industries had gone out of business by then, and Hans Christian Yachts was in the midst of moving its operations to Thailand. Beckwith sold the last boat made, a Telstar 38T, at the San Diego Boat Show in 1989, and the molds were burned shortly after.

Quick Notes

Some standard things to check, as with most older boats, are:

  • Chainplates for leak detection
  • Inspect hoses for deterioration and clamps for rust and corrosion; early vessels did not always employ high-quality metals.
  • Through-hulls and seacocks should be thoroughly inspected because some become loose with age.
  • Of course, if the teak decks have not previously been replaced, they should be inspected.

Electrical issues are most likely the weakest link in most Taiwanese-built boats from the 1970s and 1980s. Some older boats employed automotive-grade wiring, which was more prone to corrosion, and wiring looms were frequently difficult to access since they were hidden beneath teak battens and ceiling liners, making repairs costly.

Review of Hans Christian 38

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Hans Christian 38 is 1.63, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.7 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hans Christian 38 is about 253 kg/cm, alternatively 1419 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 253 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1419 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 15.80

1980 Hans Christian 38T

The Hans Christian 38T is a heavy displacement, double ended, cutter rig, designed specifically for blue water cruising but makes for a fantastic liveaboard vessel as well. She is a solidly built sailboat with a clipper bow and a long bowsprit, giving her a distinctive appearance. The interior is beautifully hand crafted in all wood joinery.

“Betelgeuse” is in excellent condition and boasts a brand new 2022 Isuzu 4LE1T 70hp Turbo charged engine with only 11 hours on it including a new propshaft and dripless seal. A brand-new Bow sprit was custom built out of old growth Douglas Fir, free of heart.

A few upgrades to highlight are: decks and all exterior wood, sanded and refinished with new plexi in the butterfly hatch and forward hatch, new 8gal hot water tank, LED lighting, new electric quiet flush large bowl toilet and holding tank (never used), all new upholstery, newer Magnum 2000w inverter, new batteries, Sigmar diesel heater has new fuel lines and filter, pump and overflow

Description.

1981 Hans Christian 38 MKII

March, 2022: Teak removed from side and forward decks, replaced with new non-skid fiberglass. Aft cockpit Teak still intact, for that classic HC look. See photos for details.

She's ready to restart her adventures....with you at the helm!

The finest example of the classic Hans Christian MKII that is on the market today. Known for both its classic beauty and seaworthiness, this MKII has been lovingly maintained.

The finest example of the classic Hans Christian MKII that is on the market today. Known for both its classic beauty and seaworthiness, this MKII has been lovingly maintained. Hull gelcoat cracks have just been repaired, two coats of epoxy paint and fresh bottom paint. All thru-hulls just inspected and serviced or replaced.

Teak decks just treated with Cemco, interior varnish just touched up. New packing on cutlass bearing.

Her heavy displacement gives her the renowned “Cadillac ride” underway. Low-hours engine (repowered in 2001) is a testament to her sailing ability. She is a Baja Ha Ha veteran who found her home in Mexico in 2017, after 18 years of coastal cruising in California.

She sits at her slip awaiting her next owners who can take advantage of her location on the shores of the world’s aquarium in the Sea of Cortez and all its wonderful anchorages.

Cutter-rigged Harwood Ives-designed full keel bluewater cruiser. Solid hand-laid fiberglass hull with longitudinal stringers, made in Taiwan.

Deck is hand-laid with luan plywood core and Teak plank decking overlay. Keel is traditional lead ballast encapsulated, no keel bolts. Barn-door rudder is solid fiberglass, protected by full skeg. High bulwarks with scuppers. Teak cap rail. Six bronze oversized cleats. Bulwark chocks. SS bow pulpit anchoring platform. Stern rail with Forespar engine hoist. Mast pulpits. Teak handrails on cabin top. Rear cockpit wheel steering, binnacle mounted compass, high combings and deep seating in the cockpit.

Below decks: Head with shower and sink is full forward, behind split chain locker. Pullman berth to port, with custom queen-sized bed and hanging lockers with lighting.

Continuing aft is the main salon, central seating around dinette with generous storage behind and under seating. Island bench galley sink aft of dinette table. Full galley to port of companionway. Quarter berth to starboard of companionway. Continuing forward on the starboard side is the navigation station followed by the settee. Mounted on the forward bulkhead is the Dickinson Newport diesel heater.
