The Hans Christian Christina 40 is a Scott Sprague-designed cutter-rigged sailboat built by Hans Christian Yachts from 1986 to the present, featuring a fin keel with a rudder on a skeg. It measures 12.14 meters LOA, with a 3.86-meter beam, 1.83-meter draft, and displaces 10,206 kg. Aboard "Garrett's Adventure," a 21-year-old sailor purchased a Christina 40 in Fiji for $45,000, a discount due to extensive osmosis damage, after sailing a Nor'Sea Marine 27 for 6,500 miles.0:07 The Christina 40, displacing 22,000 pounds on a 33-foot waterline, came equipped with a Yanmar 66-hp turbocharged 4JH-TE engine, a 45–50 lb Rocna anchor, a solar arch, and a new dodger and bimini.1:33 The crew undertook a comprehensive refit in Fiji, including re-caulking leaking windows with Sikaflex, patching hull blisters, replacing a fuel pump, and servicing the stuffing box.11:05 After launching, the crew addressed a leaking heat exchanger drain plug, a jammed windlass, and a stiff headsail furler.8:50 The boat sustained no damage after running aground on a sandbank in Port Macquarie, Australia, an incident attributed to misreading satellite charts.10:27 The crew later repaired 86 osmosis blisters on the hull in Australia for approximately $4,000, opting against a full strip-back due to yard limitations.11:55 During a passage from Sydney to Nelson Bay, the crew managed a non-functional autopilot and a loose steering cable, performing underwater hull cleaning to improve speed.6:10
