Hans Christian Independence 45

Hans Christian Independence 45

Carolina is one of those special boats that comes along and is offered for sale very rarely. The current owners have made this perfect west coast PNW cruiser the jewel of the fleet. She has been maintained to Bristol standards and is equipped to leave tomorrow. The dock presence of the  Hans Christian Independence 45 stands out, with her large bow, Pacific Coast Marine doors, and distinctive pilothouse. She is full of all the items you would expect for a properly outfitted vessel. Two staterooms, two full heads, nicely organized galley, salon and pilothouse. Some of her options include a watermaker, bow and stern thrusters, complete electronics, Nick Jackson davit, Lugger/Deere Power, fiberglass encased steel fuel tanks. Carolina has a spotless engine room and clean and tidy bilges, which is expected on a boat of her class. The current owners are moving up to a larger boat and have decided to part with Carolina.
