The Hans Christian 38 Mk II is a definitive example of the "Taiwanese Ferry" era, a period when heavy-displacement, double-ended cruisers captured the imagination of the blue-water sailing community. Designed by Harwood Ives and built primarily at the Union Yacht Company and later Shin Fa yards, the Mk II is a refinement of the original 38-foot hull, characterized by its substantial teak joinery, canoe stern, and massive bowsprit. While the original Hans Christian designs were often credited to Robert Perry, the 38 Mk II is distinctly an Ives creation, optimized for interior volume and heavy-weather stability rather than outright speed. It remains a polarizing yet deeply respected vessel, often described as a "teak desert" for its exhaustive use of tropical hardwoods and a "lead mine" for its massive 27,000-pound displacement.
