| 1600.1 | Hans Christian vs Lord Nelson | SWAM3::MILLMAN_JA | I'd rather be cruising...... | Mon Sep 17 1990 17:20 | 16 |
| The yard that produced the Hans Christian MK II now produces the the
Lord Nelson. The yard does not own the mold but produces the boats on
contract. I have a MK II and I am some what familiar with the Lord
Nelson having know the people who started the company and seeing some
of the early boats. I have had my H-C to Mexico twice and spent a year
in the South Pacific with it. Additionally I have been living aboard
the boat since 1982 and I'm in the process of getting ready (2 more
years) for an extended curise.
If I can be of help you can contact me at DTN: 531-4742 or E-Mail @LAO
Hope I can help,
Jay Millman

| HI BOB, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EITHER BOATS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU
AWARE IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY OF THIS. IF YOU EVER INTEND TO CAPTIAN ONE
OF THESE BOATS FOR HIRE IN THE U.S. ....YOU CAN'T. THERE WAS SOME FAIR
TRADE ACT PASSED IN THE 60'S I BELIEVE THAT ONLY ALLOWS BOATS
MANUFACTURED IN THIS COUNTRY TO BE USED FOR HIRE.
JUST IN CASE YOU ARE THINKING ON THOSE LINES.
BY THE WAY HOW DID YOUR RUDDER TURN OUT?

I own a Hans Christian 48T, and I assume you looked at my sister ship
at the Newport show.
Hans Christian is located at Port Annapolis, Bembe Beach Road. They
appear to be very nice people at first, but CAVEAT EMPTOR; they are
pirates of the first order, so if you deal with them CYA!!
Inspite of all this, the boat is a sturdy, well handled, off shore
cruiser, and is very comfortable to live aboard. If you have any
questions, give me a call at DTN 365-5906.
TA, Mike

| 1600.4 | LN is a great boat | DLOACT::CLEVELAND | | Mon Sep 24 1990 19:05 | 17 |
| I've looked at two Lord Nelson's VERY closely before deciding to by
our Alden 36. The LN, HC, and Alden all look to be built from the
identical mold. The LN has a slightly more upgraded interior than my
Alden did, and both had porter berths, which were quite beautiful.
The LN's we looked at were utterly bullet-proof. Beautiful, solid
boats. One was an '82, the other an '84 I believe. If we had the $$$,
we definately would have bought the Lord Nelson, but the difference of
$50K for the slightly different interior and very minor upgrade in
interior appointments didn't make sense to us.
If you find one in great shape and a good price, seriously consider it.
If you have any Alden 36's around look at those as well (also the
HC's). Get an idea of the differences in each, then make up your mind.
If you want to talk about what I found, I'm at DTN 486-6496.
Good hunting!
