Qué cubre este vídeo

Garrett, 21, bought a Hans Christian Christina 40 in Fiji for $45,000 USD after osmosis damage in the hull knocked $35,000–$40,000 off the original $85,000 asking price.0:47 He had sailed his North Sea 27, Hooligan, roughly 6,500 miles — Hawaii to Tahiti, through French Polynesia, and around Fiji — before deciding the 27-footer was too small and too exposed for crew.0:07 The Christina 40 displaces 22,000 pounds on a 33-foot waterline and carries a cutter rig with a genoa and staysail on roller furlers.1:33 Key upgrades already aboard include a Yanmar 66-hp turbocharged 4JH-TE with 1,300 hours, a Rocna anchor of roughly 45–50 lbs on 180 feet of 5/16 G4 chain, a solar arch running Starlink and refrigeration without shore power, a new dodger and bimini enclosure, and standing rigging replaced in 2023.12:21 The boat sleeps four to six.2:24 Garrett notes the absence of a Hydrovane or wind vane as a single-handing limitation he plans to address, and flags osmosis repair, a water maker, and routing winch lines to the cockpit as near-term projects.10:07 The purchase was made alongside Hooligan, allowing a direct gear transfer without flights or storage.1:10
