S/V "Puffin " Hans Christian- Model: HC33' -Auxilary Cutter -Year 1980
    
Built in Taiwan by Hansa yard   - This is hull #1, a classic collector model.

This vessel has been beautifully restored by Woodstock Caribe, using only the finest materials in the construction. Hans Christians have a reputation as one of the finest pedigreed blue water cruisers on the high seas. The design goals of Harwood Ives were met in the ability to go to weather as well as track downwind. There is high initial stability for comfort under sail and a kindly motion at sea. Lateral plane and ballast displacement ratios are high, so sailing with the rail down is extremely rare.

Below decks, she is a home at sea, with the feel and features of a much larger sailing yacht and extremely well designed use of the interior space. Her 6' 3" headroom , 10 opening bronze ports, 6 dorade vents, two overhead hatches and rich teak appointments provide a living space designed for comfort. As a liveaboard, a recreational cruiser or for extended passagemaking, her interior accommodations are well suited to the task. Puffin is a well equipped, well thought out blue water cruiser that will hold her value as an investment and take you in safety and comfort anywhere in the world.
