For Sale: 34' 1978 Hans Christian 34 Cutter in Caribbean 49k

[Windfall96]

Ahoy sailors and future sailors, Celine and myself have decided to let Pompoen (pronounced pom-poon) go to a new home. We are the third owners and were excited to take her around the world but life currently has different plans for us as Celine goes back to studies in Europe and I to some work and other pursuits in North Carolina. The refit was a bit more costly than anticipated and we’ve decided it’s best to continue this dream later on in our lives when we have more resources available to truly enjoy a boat of this pedigree. Pompoen is ready to sail far, we however are not. Don’t get us wrong, we spent some beautiful moments sailing around the Caribbean and Pompoen has given us everything we could ask for in a boat and in a home and is continuing to inspire us each day. She's a boat that will give you as much as you give her.

Pompoen is a 1978 Hans Christian 34 cutter rigged double ender designed by Robert Perry and built in Taiwan (heavily built and lots of teak). She has always been a loved boat and that is clear from the moment you step aboard. She is recently refit and ready to take you wherever your dreams may bring you. Please see the accompanying lists for details. She is a stout, safe and secure vessel with some great sailing qualities. All the big work has been done. If we were to keep her, the next big project we may consider is to remove the teak decks at some point in the next few years, however the teak is still in very good shape and was put on thick back in the 70s. We seal the teak with Semco to improve its longevity. The engine is strong and reliable, she has had her topsides, cabin top and bottom hull completely redone. The working sails are Diekow sails, made in Germany of good quality. Please see the sail inventory list for details. Pompoen comes outfitted with all sorts of gear and extras for living and sailing.

For those seriously interested, please reach out for videos (walk around and engine demonstration), Dec 2015 survey, and more information on her background and story. All this information and more is on hand and available. She has traveled the world once already. Pompoen is currently located in the Caribbean, sailing around Dominica now. We can meet you somewhere or you can meet us here. We aren't in such a rush and are continuing to maintain and tackle new projects each day. She means a lot to us and we hope the next owners may feel the same connection we did. It seems in nearly every harbor we arrive in, somebody will approach us on a dinghy to compliment Pompoen, she’s a unique boat to say the least and easy to spot from any distance. Asking price is 49k. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and we are looking forward to meeting you!

Best,
Francis and Celine
