ACCOMODATIONS


The HC 41 Traditional was produced in at least five variations of layouts; four were described in the original brochure and named the Molokai, Harmony, Atlantic and Pacific. The most popular was the Molokai layout with its one or two head arrangement and double berths both forward and aft. Interiors are of a very high workmanship and incorporate many ideas that proved popular for Hans Christian in prior models. 

TAIKO is the more popular Molokai layout with single head forward. Upon entering the companionway, to port is a guest stateroom with a privacy door. Opposite is a huge storage and wet locker, perfect for stowing readily available cruising gear. Forward to port is a large, functional, U-shaped galley with lots of storage. A large nav station is across from the galley on the starboard side with ships service panel and custom electronics panel. There is a large settee forward of the nav station and opposite of the U-shaped dinette. The master stateroom is forward of the main bulkhead with a pullman berth to port with hanging locker and custom, outboard shelving to starboard. The master head is forward of the master cabin and has a separate shower area and access to the chain locker and storage lockers.

Hans Christian was known for their solid teak wood work inside and TAIKO is no exception. She features tongue and groove solid teak throughout with bronze opening ports.
