SWAN is a beautiful example of a Hans Christian 45 trawler. It is a classic trawler that is recognized around Lake Superior for its distinctive look. This freshwater trawler is cruised on Lake Superior and stored in the winter in heated storage in Washburn, Wisconsin on a cradle that will be included in the sale. With its bullet-proof design and fine teak throughout it is a sturdy cruiser and spacious liveaboard.

The Hans Christian Trawler is an aesthetically very beautifully designed vessel offering 2 staterooms, 2 heads, a full-beam main salon and a spacious galley creating a great living platform. The semi-displacement hull with its full keel provides exceptional prop protection for the single Ford SP355 turbo and great sea keeping capabilities. With a low bridge clearance, it’s the perfect boat for the Great Loop.
