Manufacturer Provided Description
The Hans Christian Offshore Explorer 4750 features quality construction with ease of handling, living comfort and general performance in a top quality cruising sailboat. The hull offers raw speed potential due to long waterlines, a high range of positive stability, and sufficient bow overhang to deflect boarding seas. The large center cockpit features an aft helm that allows for better visibility and produces a much more seakindly motion with less pitching. A canvas dodger is standard and a fixed dodger / deckhouse is optional. The deck has been designed for single-handed sailing with the main halyard and reefing lines led back to an electric winch in the cockpit. Primary winches are less than a step away from the helmsman. Standard features include deck accessed lockers that provide storage, a sail locker with watertight bulkheads and its own bilge pump, and a swim platform with an integrated locker for bonus storage. Belowdecks, the interior features a traditional three-stateroom layout with two heads, each with a shower stall. Comfortably sleeping six, this layout provides real comfort for extended living aboard. The aft owners' stateroom with six feet, four inches of headroom, two hatches, operable ports, and two cowl vents, together with its queen berth, vanity, tall hanging locker, storage, and en suite head completes an exquisitely comfortable master stateroom. An optional washer / dryer or large clothes hamper is built into the separate shower stall. The forward stateroom with its queen-size berth and en suite head is truly luxurious with two large hatches, two operable ports and a cowl vent for excellent ventilation. Other standard features include a bureau, hanging locker, bench, and lock-off storage. The port cabin features an oversized sliding door, as well as a passageway sliding door opposite the mast.
