Hans Christian 33 "Prism" Boat Tour

Shannon from the crew of S/V Prism gives you an in-depth look into Prism, a 1982 Hans Christian 33. To see more of Prism sailing be sure to check out our channel and visit our website at svprism.com for more info.

[@guimarujo]

This is the best 33 footer layout I've seen, from classic to new. So much space, almost unbelievable.

[@fxpthl]

I can't believe all the space she has! I really love that pullman berth and large aft cabin! Lots of boat in a relatively short craft. Your tour was great and your love of "Prism" was obvious.

[@000001willy]

Best boat tour ever. Very informative. It shows how smartly the boat was designed, obviously crafted by a marine architect who had a great deal of cruising experience.

[@TheSolarmechanic]

This how a tour of a boat should be done. Outstanding !! Prism groupies rule.

[@steveolson4584]

Actually...I'm considering this boat and storage is a concern, so I'm glad she showed the boat in depth. I thought it was awesome!

[@tedthesailor172]

Shannon didn't strike me as being in the least bit nervous. Quite the contrary; she seemed to be bursting with knowledge and confidence. If you're living on a boat, storage is the Numero Uno priority because you never seem to have enough of it - especially in a small cruiser. So much of the clobber you take for granted as a landlubber, and the places to stuff it, simply vanish on a boat. There's no shed, no lock-up, no basement, nor attic - no `out back'. It's either in your precious living space or lashed on deck. And even then, sailing demands that most of what you can carry is dedicated to the vessel, not to you. If you've accumulated a lot of good clothes, personal effects and mementos, and have several hobbies, as I have; many painful and ruthless decisions have to be made...I think the narration, filming, and emphases were absolutely spot-on.

[@adamf.4823]

I think the common archetypal "Sailboat" image that we all know from our shared collective unconscious looks just like this boat. Most beautiful boat on YT.

[@apathosmodan8062]

Your tour is very detailed and specific, and I really appreciate it. The mundane is usually skipped all together, but having info like a medicine cabinet shortens the sleep area helps. You are an awesome presenter.Your boat looks like such a cozy and comfortable home, I'm envious. Keep up the videos and let us know how your travels go, and thank you!

[@kenwhitney9146]

I loved your boat tour!! I watch a ton of these in envy, but I see a lot. Yours is the most homey, warm and practical vessel I have ever seen! It looks very loved and enjoyed! Your tour was also the best I've seen, you missed nothing! I'm a carpenter/cabinet maker by trade, so naturally I was so taken with all the beautiful woodwork! It looks like the home of a large happy family! Seen many boats, much larger that look far smaller than yours and with fifty percent less storage. What a great designer/builder that built your boat! Nothing but 10's from me!! Happy Sailing!

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

I love the layout of your boat. So efficient. The forward head instead of a V berth is brilliant. Based on the interior I’d never guess it to be only 33 feet. Excellent blue water boat too.

[@pdgowin]

Best...Boat Tour...EVER! Great job you guys!

[@sailahxiong]

OMG! I had to share this with my friends because you're just so REAL. Finally, someone who understands us.

[@brian1658]

This is a great boat tour. You can tell she loves it. Great Job!

[@anthonycontares1140]

Yes indeed....you definitely have the "LOVE BOAT" 💝⛵⚓ You made us feel right at home Thanks

[@markegg7680]

Nice detailed tour. Wow! Lot's of space for a 33' boat! And yes, awesome! (8)

[@joehowell9942]

Thanks for the tour! I can see why you guys love the HC33 so much!

[@OldSchoolDo]

Thank you for the tour . what an exciting vessel . so much space . added to my list of boats to buy in the the next 5+ years . early retirement boat !

[@davehubbard6075]

Your boat is laid out extremely well. I love the old wood look it gives it lots of warmth.

[@SaveWesternCivilisation]

By Jove, that's a stunning boat! The shower and shitter is brilliant, and it's great to see a full-sized bed - death to all v-berths! I shall google Hans Christian 33s now. It has a very solid look to it, like a true ocean-going yacht. Thank you for the tour - very helpful!

[@christopherschembri7793]

Splendid and awesome boat...wow!! Thanks for the in-depth tour of the boat. I'm deeply impressed with the exceedingly practical layout and the extent of storage without compromising the charm of this boat.

[@BriggiPete]

... what a great boat design. Those Danish boats seem well thought out and more comfortable in a traditional way. I like it.

[@tedthesailor172]

They're made in the Orient, actually.

[@jimfromri]

Wow. Just stunning. That's a beautiful boat. And I cannot believe the vast stowage space you have. Thanks for the tour, I really enjoyed it.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

Thank you!

[@zohaf]

is this the best boat tour on youtube? quite possibly

[@rmccarrillo1759]

😎 I think soooo. 😎 🚣

[@lescobrandon2202]

Hands down.

[@retepekooc]

I like that she totally owns,knows and loves her boat ,and there is a lot to love,can’t believe all that in 33ft

[@moriver3857]

She's beautiful indeed. All that vanishing! I have a 33 myself from the mid 80s, and I only have half of that storage and not well distributed. Some will be addressed during the refit. Thanks for the boat tour! Awesome (1 of 1) lol. Fair winds.

[@rubn12345]

This is still by far my favorite boat! Have seen this video ten times, and it keeps surprising me. The storage and size is insane for a 33 feet boat.

[@ecomindedchoice]

That is one of the best layouts I've seen on a 33' boat! It seems a lot bigger.

[@canyonhaverfield2201]

bing.. one more awesome bell for you Shannon . Your walk thru intro to Prism was perfect to a T.. Happy to learn you like her 'bing' ... and I'm seeing the next entry notes your sail to PB.. Stillwater played hugely in my early years from good times to nearly drowning after being caught off shore in a Banshee I was learning to sail.. Thanks to one alert sailor .. I'm here to tell the story.. Thanks for your's and i'll be following you two.. make that 3 .

[@rubn12345]

I am blown away! That is the "biggest" 33ft boat i have ever seen! I'm getting a Beneteau First 27ft boat in a few days, and this boat looks to be about twice the size. Now i know what im gonna save money up for next time! :D Thanks for a great tour, one of the best i have seen!

[@davidgreer7270]

AWESOME presentation. I can now see why you love your boat so much. I never would have dreamed you have so much storage on a 33 ft boat. It is well planned and it reeks of quality. I really enjoy your vids. Thank you.

[@wordimobi5765]

I'm a bit of a cynic about all these 'beautiful' young things and their yacht adventures, and started this video sceptical - but you won me over totally. Your knowledge, tone and enthusiasm were inspiring. So much so I'm probably going to buy a Hans Christian now, really. Well done!

[@mmcalifornia8600]

Such a beautiful boat. Great tour, love the energy.

[@stuguy2]

Awesome! This is the woman of choice. Intelligent, sharpe, beautiful, knowledgeable ...John is one lucky man!

[@SGMCCOLLEY]

Awesome boat, Awesome tour, Awesome video! Really, I have been checking out boats for the last six years or so now, and I have gone from knowing almost nothing, through the stages of wanting first a Catalina, or Hunter, to a more sophisticated race oriented boat, to eventually realizing that if I intend to be a liveaboard, and I do, then the interior while not everything, is where I will spend most of my time, it will be where I live. I finally decided some time ago that I wanted a HANS CHRISTIAN 33T. You are very lucky to be where you are, when you are there, revel in it!

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

Outstanding boat tour! Well done!

[@BrianReeves2]

Watching this it is hard to believe it is 33 feet, that is a lot of storage and living space. Thanks for a great tour.

[@kingneptune8937]

I love hans Christian's, they will last for ever if treated right, there not the fastest but are one of the safest sailing yachts on the market, there very cosy and homely & the quality of build is right up there. If or when I win the lottery I'll be buying one straight away.

[@Norwegianwoodworker]

Only 3 days ago since i heard about a HC.. And it is my new favourite by far. Fantastick boat you guys got there : ) Yes and the tour, finally a good tour of a boat. Thanks for taking the time to go through it. Happy sails. Norway.

[@hobsonschoice8649]

Thanks for the tour. I have been dreaming about sailing for decades now and it was nice to see the tour. Safe sailing :)

[@martinengelbrecht5384]

You are excellent at this! Love the wood. John is a truly blessed man.

[@owenhalloran6234]

Loved the tour, It was AWESOME!!

[@BarefootsChild]

That is my kind of boat. absolutely everything, thank you very much for doing this great video. I could spend a great deal of time living in that layout, especially the way the sleeping arrangements are designed.

[@craigshackelford4495]

I have never seen a better boat tour. What a smart discussion. Thank you!

[@DriveSafeDon]

That’s the cleanest boat yet that I saw that people live on nice job 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Thuddriver01]

Shannon; I absolutely love your boat. Your tour was excellent, great use of terminology, well thought out and even better presented. thanks.

[@johnswimcat]

Very interesting, thank you. A well thought out and beautifully fitted boat. Great video too, very well presented and filmed. Awesome! 😆

[@michaelch5060]

That was a great tour of your beautiful boat! Thanks for sharing!

[@MichaelJohnson-dn2ov]

It was great meeting you this evening, John and Shannon! Loved hearing your awesome story and touring Prism (she's fantastic!). Enjoy your stay on Manhasset Bay and let me know if there's anything you need while you're here.

[@dennismacdonald4086]

Outstanding, love video and subscriber forever . great ideas for my 33

[@garyc5483]

[@sh4826]

Thank you so much for the tour! It was really neat to get such a good run through of Prism!

[@victordeeke7401]

Great boat and presentation! Everything looks in place, big shower, living room, 2 beds! Looks like a 40'

[@Mayaadventures]

WOW, WOW, WOW 1. - For a boat - We just learned about this model! 2. - For boat presentation, Bravo! 3. - What ever you want! :) Thank you!

[@hipcatwho]

Very good boat tour. I must say this was the best tour I have ever watched, This should be a prerequisite for all Yacht Salesman to see how to sell a boat. the photography needs a little work. all in all very good .........

[@lauryspiritmoma7229]

Beautiful boat I love following your videos next best thing to being there for me.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Smart girl. We learn something in every one of your videos.

[@englundus]

That is a beautiful boat you guys have!!! I'm also very impressed with how the chainplates have been moved to the outside!

[@2nd6months]

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for such a great tour of your AWESOME "aboat."

[@sea0fgreen33]

One of the coziest boats I've seen. Also, Prism is an awesome name

[@timllg]

Holy cow! the layout is "awesome" on that boat! I think it's the best use of space I've seen so far. Thanks for the tour!

[@leoniewellesley6684]

What a beautiful floating home you have! Enjoyed your video- watching from Christchurch New Zealand. Wishing you fair winds x

[@tedjelke8291]

I love your boat. thanks, Shannon. :-)

[@thelast344]

I've seen alot of 30 footers looking for the best live in cruiser, and I like yours the best.

[@jafsterlordbib]

"awseome" boat :) love it!

[@vincethomrenaissanceman1731]

Heavenly! The Pullman berth, the wardrobe doors, v-head shower. Oh, don't get me started. This is the most 'awesome' boat I've ever seen. 🤙

[@paulmadruga9786]

Wow you have so much passion for your boat and the life style! Congratulations and fair winds :-)

[@dtonvista]

Wow, that is so much more room than I thought, I like the size of the bathroom and shower area and all the food storage. Thank you, really enjoy watching your videos!

[@yamnuska1]

I love the 33T 😁 I am looking to buy a 1989 soon. Love your tour. Be safe and have fun!

[@edwardfordfay9186]

I'm so glad you have not only a beautiful boat, but a dearly loved home

[@akosirolandr]

awesome "number 8" boat tour. I love the layout specially the bed,lots of storage and the wide companionway..

[@214rwoz]

I'm new to the channel. I was so impressed by Shannon's presentation of their home. From now on I am only going to watch boat tour's giving by a women. A man's tour usually goes like: this is my generator, these are my water tanks, here is the toilet, here is my electronics and here are my tools! Shannon's tour had the women's touch! Thank you so much for your time and effort, it was Awesome! ( i am an old male sea dog myself )

[@paulbrodie8636]

Great run through.. in fact awesome!

[@richardpace9818]

What a beautiful vessel... Substantial, wonderful internal woodwork.....Total warmth.

[@williambunting803]

Awesome boat. It so complete a boat in that 33 feet with so much character, I love it. Great presentation. I am definitely finding a world map for our salon table. The layout is genius with the fwd head and shower.

[@johnking5691]

By far this is the coolest sailboat video I have seen. I want this boat!

[@svelandoilterritorio7393]

You really have a beautiful boat. Well arranged, well maintained, you can see that she is sailing and that you love her very much! Good wind and good navigation!

[@MrGreencheetah]

Thank you so much for sharing this - it's an amazing boat!!!

[@John-Val056]

Great video, AWESOME ;) Thanks for doing it.

[@jmo7783]

One of the best boat tours I've ever seen

[@rockynanach]

Thank you for a great tour . It’s a beautiful character boat . You might want to store the paint and chemicals somewhere else other than underneath your bed .

[@SailingwiththeFoxwellFamily]

What a great boat, just cant believe you can get so much space in a 33ft boat.

[@richardmorgan2679]

Thanks for the tour. perfect size and it looks like you have her set up to really work for you. Enjoy!!!!

[@SailingVesselPrism]

[@9mil]

Very nice tour! So much storage! Looks real homey! Good sailing!!!

[@DaveMiller-FlightLines]

Amazing boat. I loved watching your tour. Looking for something like this for myself. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@njrivetelite]

I love the old school look of her.. really gorgeous and I like the Berth you guys chose to sleep in.. I loved the tour.. I have never sailed before and Love watching vids like this.. I have been yearning for adventure and freedom like that.. I could easily rid or put much of what I own in storage and just go.. One day maybe I'll own one

[@evanofelipe]

Thanks Shannon for your fantastic tour of 'Prism' - what a boat - its clear you love her and I can truly see why.

[@Splinter4077]

That is absolutely massive on the inside! Much bigger than the outside suggests! It seriously looks like a 42' boat interior.

[@stewartkelly2824]

Seen many boat tour videos this is one of the better ones. Very cool boat.

[@camerongraham902]

Was not familiar with this boat model before but I'm now very impressed with it! Thanks guys!

[@BlankCanvasArts]

I have never sailed in my life and I know it is the life for me. God willing? Thanks for sharing! Love the boat. Love the table idea!!!

[@williambunting803]

Yes, I did enjoy that yet again. I see new things every time.

[@alanmellor8002]

Love the boat! Great advice on the pullman berth. Will use that advice when selecting our boat.

[@unclemuir]

Gorgeous boat. There is a lot of space. That is a boat I could live on. Love your videos keep them coming.
