[edit] History

Most designs are credited to Robert H. Perry, Harwood Ives, Scott Spragne and Tommy Chen. Boat production began in the early 1970s.

[edit] Hans Christian today

In November 2004 production of the traditional range of Hans Christian Yachts was transferred from Andersen Yachts Ltd to Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd

Jack Hall and his wife Jum established Pantawee Marine Co., Ltd in 1986 as a wholly owned family boat building business located on the eastern seaboard of Thailand near the resort city of Pattaya. Jack has managed Andersen Yachts Ltd, the yard that manufactured Hans Christian Yachts from 1996 to 2004.
