hi everyone, I would like to know more about the "Christina" line of boats made by hans christian. I have tried to find info on them but so far nothing has come up, it doesn't seem that there are many of these boats out there. Has anyone had any experience with these yachts? right of the bat it seems that they were aiming for a more modern style of boat with better speed, compared to the normal "traditional" look that the hans christians are know for. If anyone has any info on these or have heard good/bad things please let me know

thanks.

Thank you camaraderie for you response!

The particular boat that we are looking at is a 1992, but the owner has had the bottom stripped, sanded and faired in 2001, he also applied blue awlgrip. Now the awlgrip isn't a problem, but the fact that the hull has had so much work done to it makes us a little uneasy on that year of a boat. I am more worried about the fact that the hull might not have been professionaly done and that it's more like a "quick fix" to sell the boat and 2 years down the road the problem comes back with the awlgrip covering any problems that may come up along the way.

thoughts?
