AMORE is a proven boat; her owners have sailed more than 10,000 nautical miles on her, including passages from Hawaii to Alaska, through the Inside Passage, down the U.S. West Coast and onward to the Sea of Cortez.
Below decks, she retains the traditional character Hans Christian yachts are known for, with rich joinery and a practical cruising interior. Accommodations include a forward Pullman berth, quarter berth, convertible saloon sleeping, marine head and a proper offshore galley with the model’s distinctive center-island sink arrangement.
For sailors prioritizing offshore capability, self-sufficiency, proven passagemaking and substantial recent upgrades, AMORE deserves serious consideration.
