Description

Remedy, a 1980 Hans Christian 43 Staysail Ketch, has been actively cruising the Sea of Cortez for the past five years under the ownership of a USCG-licensed captain and ASA instructor. She has been professionally maintained, thoughtfully upgraded (over $30k in recent work), and sailed with care.

Hans Christians are celebrated for their sea-kindliness, offshore safety, and traditional beauty. The HC43’s classic canoe stern, high bulwarks, and full keel inspire confidence, while her versatile staysail ketch rig offers balanced sail plans for shorthanded voyaging. With a full suite of sails (8 total), modern cruising systems, and significant upgrades, Remedy is ready to carry her next owner wherever the wind leads.
