Hans Christian 41T (Traditional)
Description
The Hans Christian 41 (often referred to as the HC 41T or "Traditional 41") is a flagship model in the Hans Christian lineup—a heavy-displacement, bluewater passagemaker designed by Scott Sprague and built by Anderson Yachts Ltd. (Taiwan) from 1985 onward. It's renowned for its robust construction, classic double-ender aesthetics (with pronounced bowsprit and teak-heavy details), and exceptional seaworthiness for long-distance cruising. The "T" stands for "Traditional," emphasizing the full traditional lines, though later production shifted to Thailand under Pantawee Marine as the "Traditional 41."

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
