$89,000.00

Description

Motivated sellers! After full time cruising for 7 years, the current owners are looking for their next adventure. With over $30k in recent upgrades and now a $50k price cut, this is a chance to own a beautiful, professionally maintained, go anywhere/circumnavigate type of boat.

SV Remedy is a striking example of Hans Christian craftsmanship — a 1980 43T staysail ketch built for serious offshore cruising. With her Telstar keel, canoe stern, and heavy-displacement hull, she’s designed to cross oceans with grace and confidence. The ketch rig provides balance, versatility, and manageable sail handling in all conditions, making her a favorite among seasoned cruisers.
Below deck, Remedy features the warm charm of solid teak joinery, a spacious layout, and the durability that defines Hans Christian yachts. She’s as comfortable as she is capable — a true liveaboard or world cruiser ready to continue her journey.
Currently on the hard in Puerto Peñasco, she’s ideally positioned for refit work or preparation for your next adventure through the Sea of Cortez, down the Baja Peninsula, or across the Pacific. Remedy embodies the timeless bluewater tradition that has made the Hans Christian name legendary.
