Hallberg-Rassy 40, IDUNN

Broker’s Comments

The Hallberg-Rassy 40 is a robust and versatile bluewater cruiser, designed for long-distance voyaging with a blend of reliability, performance, and comfort. Developed by renowned designer German Frers, this model delivers excellent sailing characteristics, featuring a balanced sail plan and a deep fin keel that enhances stability and control. The centre cockpit layout includes Hallberg-Rassy’s iconic fixed windshield, providing both protection from the elements and excellent visibility. Teak decking, high-backed seating, and a well-organized cockpit contribute to the safety and comfort required for extended passages. Electric in-mast furling for the mainsail and a roller-furling genoa enable easy sail handling, especially for a short-handed crew.

Constructed with durability in mind, the Hallberg-Rassy 40’s hull is built using a hand-laid isophthalic polyester gelcoat and resin for superior strength and water resistance. A well-engineered grid system distributes loads from the keel and mast step throughout the hull, ensuring rigidity and seaworthiness. Above the waterline, Divinycell PVC foam core enhances insulation and impact resistance. The deck is similarly cored with Divinycell, reinforced at hardware mounting points for additional strength.

This model has received worldwide acclaim, winning notable awards such as European Yacht of the Year, Cruising World’s Boat of the Year, and a spot in Sail Magazine’s Top Ten, highlighting its exceptional design, quality, and performance.

Below deck, the interior is crafted with satin-finished mahogany, showcasing Hallberg-Rassy’s renowned craftsmanship and featuring curved laminations in the trim and structural components. Ample storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout the vessel, providing practical solutions for extended cruising. The saloon includes a versatile L-shaped sofa with a foldable table and two comfortable armchairs. The aft cabin provides a spacious double berth and good storage options, while the forward cabin offers a v-berth with convenient access to additional storage. The well-equipped galley is designed for long-range cruising and the large head with a separate shower is positioned forward of the mast bulkhead.

The Hallberg-Rassy 40 also offers a spacious engine room, an exceptional feature for a vessel of this size, providing easy access to systems and room for additional installations. Powered by a Volvo Penta D2-55, this model has a motoring range of up to 900 nautical miles in calm conditions, enabling dependable long-distance cruising.

This particular Hallberg-Rassy 40 stands out with its low-hour engine and history of light use, which is evident in its near-new interior condition. Equipped with push-button sailing for ease of operation, even with a single-handed crew, recent upgrades include brand new sails (not yet used) and refreshed canvas work as well as Gennaker equipment and radar. Stored indoors and sailed exclusively in the fresh waters of the Baltic Sea, this yacht represents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a high-quality, ready-to-sail vessel.
