The Hans Christian 34 is a traditional heavy displacement, fullkeel, double ended, world class cruiser, meant to handle heavy seas with relative comfort and ease With her large bowsprit and cutter rigging, she is a favorite among blue water aficionados. Everywhere you turn, you see thoughtful, overbuilt details, with every teak nook & cranny being used for storage. Her interior is finished throughout with gorgeous teak woodwork that was exquisitely done. Accommodations The interior is hand-fitted teak with a great deal of beautiful cabinetry and joiner work. B Drawers are dovetalled and the cabin sole is teak and holly, The teak is set off with a white overhead and cabin side accents, bronze port lights and tasteful dark blue upholstery. She has an enormous amount of storage with hanging lockers, wet locker, and sliding door lockers with lots of additional under-seat storage as well. There is a comfortable y.berth forward followed by the head and shower combination to port. As you enter the-main salon a settee is to starboard and a U shaped dinette opposite which also converts to a There is beautiful butterfly double berth. skylight directly overhead providing an abundance of natura light and ventilation, The L shaped galley is located to port directly behind the dinette. And finally across to starboard Is the generous navigation center and large quarter berth. B Galley and Plumbing The L shaped galley is aft of the dinette and has a deep double stainless steel sink with pressure water, sea water pump faucets and storage below.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Though relatively few were built, it is the predecessor to another series of boats built in far greater numbers. It is said that before the first HANS CHRISTIAN 34 hit the water, a second set of molds was created for a ‘stretched’ version, first called the HANS CHRISTIAN 36, and later built as the UNION 36 among other names. Though the 36 foot version is still often considered a Robert Perry design, it was never authorized by him, nor were royalties paid.
Thanks to HANS CHRISTIAN 34 owner Bill Lockwood (and others) for providing updated information.
