Our boat is a 1975 Hans Christian. It is 36 feet long on deck and was probably one of the last 36 footers made by Hans Christian. The molds were then sold and used for the hulls of the cheaper "Union" brand boats. We have checked with Bob Perry the designer of the boat and he agreed that it was a genuine Hans Christian, not one of the later, inferior models.
This photo was taken by the Saunders from the deck of their boat "Swan". This is the departure of "Morning Wings" from Keehi Lagoon near Honolulu as we left for the Marshall Islands. We are sporting all new chain plates, stanchions and rigging that was added during our Hawaii stay. We also had the Volvo Diesel repaired and a new mainsail made. In all, about $40,000 in upgrades.
