The construction by the finest Taiwanese craftsman under the direct, daily supervision of the renowned blue water cruiser, engineer and master craftsman Herbert Guttler. The result is a cruising masterpiece.
Teak is used extensively throughout the interior along with a large amount of custom bronze fittings that give it that traditional classic look. Her interior layout is roomy and cleverly laid out allowing for 2 private staterooms, a stall shower, a seagoing galley and a main salon that is large and accommodating, all beautifully finished in selected teak. She also has a comfortable, well laid out interior that's feels much larger than her size would suggest and is finished in lovely teak to Hans Christian's exacting standards.

Cockpit and an oversized rudder placed far aft, she's safe and sea kindly under power or sail.

She is a generously proportioned 33 foot blue water cruiser that can go anywhere comfortably and safely and is as strikingly handsome as she is practical.
