Long distance cruising with great comfort

The Hallberg-Rassy 37 is a well-built long distance cruiser with great comfort. The centre cockpit is very well protected by the HR typical wind screen. There is a good aft deck, making movement on deck easy. Her interior layout allows for an airy aft cabin, well separated from the saloon, yet easily accessible. The big engine room even allows for installation of a power generator. Her tankage is generous for long range cruising. The woodwork is crafted by experienced boat builders.

The rig is slightly fractional but still forward and aft lower shrouds, combining stability and flexibility. The spreaders do not disturb the mainsail when sailing downwind over the oceans. As an option, it is possible to fly a masthead gennaker from a removable bow sprit.

In the November 2006 issue of Cruising World magazine the Hallberg-Rassy 37 is called a "Built-for-anything beauty" Furthermore: "The boat is touted as a well-built long distance cruiser. While others may talk the talk, this one walks the walk. A test sail of the Hallberg-Rassy 37 proves that with this model, the attention to detail is what makes it a delight. The boat’s seakindly performance gives the assurance that it can take you anywhere, and once you get onboard, that's exactly where you'll want to go."

The Hallberg-Rassy 37 won "Boat of the Year 2006" in the category Production Cruiser 37-39 ft in the January 2006 issue of Cruising World magazine from the USA.
