COMPANY HISTORY

- FROM SHED TO FAMOUS BOATYARD

Production workshop in the early 1960's. 28 ft was the largest boat and all were built entirely out of wood

THE WOODEN BOAT ERA

In our modern time when boat building has not been spared series building or mass production, it is good to know that the Hallberg-Rassy yard existed in the days when boat building still meant wood and individual boats. In view of this we have specialized, from the earliest days, in comfortable sailing boats suitable for longer voyages. The company history started with Harry Hallberg back in 1943.

Mr Harry Hallberg

HARRY HALLBERG

What today is called Hallberg-Rassy Varvs AB was originally two yards.

Harry Hallberg, who lived between 1914 and 1997, commenced his boatbuilding career as a boy of 14, constructing boats made of wood. In 1943 he opened his own yard at Kungsviken on the island of Orust in Sweden.

At first, he built his wooden boats more or less by instinct. Different possibilities were discussed with the customer and solutions pointed out. Blueprints hardly existed at all. It was said that: "Someone who cannot build a boat without drawings cannot call himself a real boat builder".

The first boat to be built in a series was the Folkboat. He also had good success with Kungskryssaren (Swedish for the king’s cruiser), not to be confused with the Finnish King’s Cruiser which has nothing at all to do with Hallberg-Rassy. The Kungskryssaren was constructed in the mid-50’s. Both the Folkboat and Kungskryssaren was also built by other yards.

Harry Hallberg’s most distinguished contribution was his understanding of the advantages of using GRP and to build boats in a series. In 1963 he was one of the pioneers in serial production of sailboats using GRP. He was the first successful builder of GRP hulls with wooden superstructure in a series. His P-28 was a great accomplishment and in many aspects a forerunner. Hallberg early had export success, with most of the 100 first P-28 sold the the USA.

Wooden boat built by Christoph Rassy in the early 1960s

CHRISTOPH RASSY

Christoph Rassy lived between 1934 and 2021 and was brought up in Bavaria in the south of Germany by a lake named Starnberger See. As a young guy, he in his spare time built models of boats and also real boats. He wanted to learn more about boats and became an apprentice at a small yard for wooden boats in southern Germany.

Soon he wanted to build and sail larger and finer boats and wanted to live by the sea. He thought that Sweden, a large country with lots of water, was bound to build large and splendid boats. Consequently, he wrote to many Swedish boatyards, requesting work. One yard wrote that they would welcome him, and in 1960 Christoph moved empty-handed and with a bicycle as his only possession to Nötesund, Sweden to build boats. During the day he built boats for a boatyard that has now been out of business for many years.

The shed where it all started, both for Mr Hallberg and for Mr Rassy, although they actually never worked together as partners

THE KUNGSVIKEN YARD

To stretch his cash flow young Mr Rassy built boats for himself in his spare time. He raced these boats, won, and sold them at a profit.

Soon Christoph Rassy wanted to strike out on his own. As luck had it, this coincided with a leading boat builder's change of premises. This boat builder was Harry Hallberg. In the mid-60’s the yard at Kungsviken had become too small for Mr Hallberg and he built new premises in Ellös, 10 kilometres to the southwest on the island of Orust.

When Christoph Rassy started his own business he bought the old Hallberg yard in Kungsviken.

 

The two first Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35 were built entirely of mahogany

HARRY HALLBERG AND CHRISTOPH RASSY WERE COMPETITORS 1965-1972

In the years of 1965 to 1972, Harry Hallberg and Christoph Rassy were competitors. At first, Christoph Rassy built boats on a one-off basis.

The first boat that became part of a series was the "Rasmus 35", designed in 1966 by the then leading Swedish designer of elegant yachts, Olle Enderlein. The first two were built entirely in mahogany and took one year each to construct. This boat was in many ways ahead of its time. It was a pioneer long distance cruiser with a powerful engine and a centre cockpit protected by a windshield. This is a design that has remained with the Hallberg-Rassy yachts to this day. When the Rasmus was presented many eye-brows were raised. Some thought that the boat was much too large. In those days 35 feet was regarded as an enormous boat size. In addition, it was a sailing boat with a windshield. This was a combination never seen before. Today it is taken for granted on a good cruising boat.

At the same time Harry Hallberg built his boats in Ellös. Smart, attractive boats at a reasonable price, thanks to serial production and GRP hulls.

The Mistral 33, 216 built 1966-1975

TWO YARDS BECAME ONE: HALLBERG-RASSY

Harry Hallberg retired in 1972. Again, fate intervened; Christoph Rassy was looking for larger premises. Ellös now produced the "Mistral 33" featuring a superstructure of mahogany, the 1/2 ton "Mistress 32", the best-selling "P-28" and the little yellow 24 ft "Misil II", all designed by Olle Enderlein, with the exception of the P-28 which was designed by Harry Hallberg.

In 1972 the Rassy yard in Kungsviken purchased Harry Hallberg’s yard in Ellös. As the Hallberg brand was by far the most well-known with its four designs and the Rassy yard only had the Rasmus; the new company was named Hallberg-Rassy.

Harry Hallberg and Christoph Rassy, however, have never been partners.

 

The Rasmus 35, 760 built 1967-1978

As a matter of curiosity, we like to tell about a prospective boat-buyer, who in 1972 was torn between buying a Mistral 33 from the Hallberg yard or a Rasmus 35 from the Rassy yard. The Rasmus had centre cockpit and the Mistral had aft cockpit. The prospect asked a salesman at Hallberg’s why he should choose the Mistral:  "- As the boat has an aft cockpit you do not risk water splashing into an aft-cabin" was the answer. The prospective buyer later went to the Rassy yard to look at the Rasmus. The following discussion took place: 

Prospective buyer to Mr Rassy: 

  • Why not a boat with an aft cockpit, so you do not get water splashing into the aft cabin?
  • Who recommends that? Mr Rassy asked.
  • The people at Hallberg’s at Ellös.
  • They will never say that again.
  • Why not?
  • I bought the Hallberg yard this morning.

A Rasmus was ordered. This boat has the same happy owner to this day.
And by the way; the water does not splash into the aft-cabin!

The Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31, 904 built 1974-1982

THE BESTSELLER - THE MONSUN 31

The first new design under the name of Hallberg-Rassy was the Monsun 31, which was created in 1973 and launched 1974. The boat proved a great success, and 904 were built up to 1982, the highest number of units built of any kind of Hallberg-Rassy to this date.

To meet the demand the area of the yard was doubled in 1975.

 

The Hallberg-Rassy 41, 105 built 1975-1981

HALLBERG-RASSY 41 - THE NEW FLAGSHIP

The next design was the Hallberg-Rassy 41. This quickly became a trendsetter. This was the first boat with a proper walk through to the aft-cabin below deck. The basic principle for the layout, though greatly improved, is used to this day. One can question if this is due to routine or if this represents the optimal interior design of a centre-cockpit boat. On further study it becomes rather evident that this is indeed an optimal design.
The Hallberg-Rassy 41 had free passage from stem to stern below deck in one level. The galley was placed at starboard by the stairs, out of the way from any passers-by, providing safety at sea and providing full headroom in the whole galley. The chart table on the opposite side was generous and with a real seat in the boats heading direction. 

Further the Hallberg-Rassy 41 was a long distance vessel with the keel and rudder separated, and among other things a blue brim around the cockpit, which was slightly elevated, to give room for the passage below deck.

The size of the boat and the outfitting was spectacular for its time: pressured water, heated water, shower, electric anchor winch, headsail furling system, two separate heads, a powerful engine, solid and elegant wooden interior and gracious lines.

All this is basic, though very much improved, to this day. Over 100 units of the Hallberg-Rassy 41 were built during a short but intense period from 1975 to1979, a few were also built until 1981.

The Hallberg-Rassy 38, the first model with the typical blue stripe around the hull

Hallberg-Rassy 38, designed in 1976/77, was also a trendsetter with the same interior concept, though a higher freeboard, and was the first boat with the characteristic blue stripe around the hull.

The Hallberg-Rassy 352 from 1977/78 was a substantial sales success, with more than 800 built until 1989. This was the first time a designer had managed to combine, in a 35 foot boat, a walk through to the aft-cabin with spectacularly elegant lines. Hallberg-Rassy 352 offered large-boat characteristics at a moderate price.

An ad for the Hallberg-Rassy 312 from 1979 said: "The new fast long distance cruiser. It is easy to recognize the new Hallberg-Rassy 312, by its contemporary lines and the design which has become characteristic for yachts from Hallberg-Rassy; an elegantly laid teak deck, a modern and easy to handle rig, ample elbow-room inside and exquisite woodwork." 690 Hallberg-Rassy 312s were built up to 1993.

The Hallberg-Rassy 49, which arrived in 1982, was with its 15 meter hull an imposing flagship for the Swedish boat industry.

Rassker, an experimental boat by 16 year old Magnus Rassy in 1983

ONE-OFF BOAT RASSKER

In 1983, 16-year old Magnus Rassy designed and built an experimental boat named "Rassker". The hull was built in high tech aramid fibre and Divinycell. This was the first boat built at Hallberg-Rassy to feature an external lead keel and a stern with a bathing platform. The hull length was 26 ft and the boat won many races.

HALLBERG-RASSY 382 - THE FINAL ENDERLEIN DESIGN

The Hallberg-Rassy 382 came in 1984 and was the last Olle Enderlein design and the last model with the keel moulded into a GRP encapsulated sump. So in a way this model was an end of an era. 120 boats were built between 1984 and 1992.

Armchairs in a Hallberg-Rassy 45

ARMCHAIRS IN 1985

In 1985 two armchairs were built in to the saloon of a Hallberg-Rassy 49. This was something no one had seen on a yacht before. Now you can find similar solutions on boats built by yards all over the world, but no armchairs are as comfortable as the original ones by Hallberg-Rassy.

ONE-OFF RASSKER MAGNUM

In 1987, another boat designed by Magnus was built, the 35 ft "Rassker Magnum". Also this boat was racing very successfully. These two boats were nothing for Hallberg-Rassy to put on the market, but a good preparation for future developments. Today, many of the features are used in the current production boats. The Rassker boats provided many new ideas for future Hallberg-Rassy models, at the same time offering ideas on what they should not look like. For instance the importance of a proper, deep bilge and an easy to handle rig became evident. Some years later, the experiences from this boat resulted in a new revolutionary boat, the Hallberg-Rassy 34.

COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING FROM 1987

Already in 1987 Hallberg-Rassy purchased its first computerised woodworking machine, a CNC-milling machine. Parts could now be cut with an heretofore unheard precision, waste was minimized, and the level of quality further enhanced.

OWN HULL LAMINATION FROM 1987

In 1987 Hallberg-Rassy also purchased a factory, which for many years had functioned as a subcontractor for the GRP hulls. Since 1987 Hallberg-Rassy Marinplast AB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hallberg-Rassy AB.
That means that Hallberg-Rassy has full control over the complete construction cycle, both wood and GRP works. Hallberg-Rassy Marinplast has never built hulls for anybody other than Hallberg-Rassy, in spite of rumours to the contrary.

Germán Frers

GERMÁN FRERS - THE MOST TALENTED NAVAL ARCHITECTURES OF OUR TIME

In 1988 Hallberg-Rassy began a successful co-operation with the most talented yacht designer of our time - Germán Frers (pronounced Herman Frers) from Argentina. Frers is as well known for his Superyacht designs, as he is for drawing cruising yachts with elegant lines. Frers comes from a true boatbuilding family. Hallberg-Rassy has always been renowned for its sturdiness, seaworthiness, comfort, safety and fine wood-work. The latest generation Hallberg-Rassy yachts also offer you the best that you can buy for the future with regard to elegance, performance and ease of handling. 

Several victories in for example the ARC over the Atlantic or Tjörn Runt shows that a modern cruiser does not have to be lacking in performance. Germán Frers has so far made 25 designs for Hallberg-Rassy, in chronological order the Hallberg-Rassy 45,  36,  34,  42F,  39,  31,  53,  46,  62,  43,  40,  37,  48,  342,  543723106441255443405740C50, 400 and the new model for 2024; the new flagship Hallberg-Rassy 69.

So far Hallberg-Rassy has delivered 9 700 yachts, of which Frers designed 3 800.

Hallberg-Rassy 45, the first Frers design, 71 built 1988-1996

HALLBERG-RASSY 45 - THE FIRST FRERS DESIGN

When the Hallberg-Rassy 45 was launched in 1988 it was a trendsetter. This was the first Hallberg-Rassy designed by Germán Frers. 

The Hallberg-Rassy 45 introduced an external lead keel in serial production, a sturdy hull stiffener along and across the boat, between the floor and the keel, which reinforces the construction considerably. In addition it introduced a hull insulated with Divinycell foam core, which not only insulates from heat and cold, it also ensures an even firmer hull with a smooth inside, in contrast to the stringers of old days. 

The Hallberg-Rassy 45 claimed overall victory in the ARC over the Atlantic, in competition with a range of vessels from Whitbread boats and racers/cruisers to smaller family style boats.

The Hallberg-Rassy 34, 484 built during sixteen years from 1990 until 2005

THE REVOLUTIONARY HALLBERG-RASSY 34

1990 the almost revolutionary Hallberg-Rassy 34 was launched. Three years earlier the then 20 year young Magnus Rassy created his own experimental boat, the 35 ft Rassker Magnum because he wanted a boat that was a joy to sail. That boat gave a lot of experience in good things and things that were not so good. For instance the importance of a proper, deep bilge and an easy to handle rig became evident. The good things were sailing performance and the knowing this can be combined with a comfortable boat. When the Rassker Magnum was sold in spring 1990, the decision was quickly taken to develop a new production Hallberg-Rassy, with the best from Rassker Magnum, adding both further comfort and performance. The new boat should be Frers designed with greatly improved performance compared to earlier production Hallberg-Rassys and a look that can be described so contradictory as younger, yet classic at the same time. This should be done without sacrificing all the good old Hallberg-Rassy qualities such as sturdiness, seaworthiness, comfort, safety and fine wood-work. Frers was contacted with this design brief and summer 1990 the first Hallberg-Rassy 34 sailed. The model came to be a commercial success and a forerunner for a whole new generation Hallberg-Rassys.

The Hallberg-Rassy 53, at her time the flagship of the Hallberg-Rassy fleet

NEW 53 FT FLAGSHIP

In 1992 a new flagship was launched, the Hallberg-Rassy 53. 82 boats were built during fifteen years, from 1992 until 2006.

OPEN BOATYARD

In 1993, Hallberg-Rassy started Open Yard (Öppet Varv in Swedish) in a small scale. This has through the years developed to Scandinavia's largest and most important sailboat show.

HALLBERG-RASSY NEWSLETTER INTRODUCED 1995

Every year since 1995 a printed Hallberg-Rassy NewsLetter has been released. It contains interesting insidernews from Hallberg-Rassy. You may download each issue at the NewsLetter Download section.

WEBSITE INTRODUCED 1996

When the Hallberg-Rassy web site got online back in 1996, it was one of the very first web sites for any boatbuilder in Europe. Already then it was unusually extensive.

Since 2011 Hallberg-Rassy has a very active Facebook account and since the fall 2013 there is an Instagram account.

FIRST GRP BOAT IN A MUSEUM A HALLBERG-RASSY

In 1996 the Hallberg-Rassy Monsun 31 "Golden Lady" retired into a museum, after three and a half circumnavigations. The Swedish sailor Kurt Björklund donated his boat to the maritime museum in Råå in southern Sweden. Kurt Björklund is the first owner and took delivery of this boat here in Ellös 1974. Kurt knew that he wanted to do some serious sailing, but could never have imagined how far he would travel. In 1983 Kurt retired from work and went on his first solo circumnavigation. The second one included the rounding of Cape Horn. - I could have sold the boat for some SEK 300 000 But I could not stand the idea of not knowing where the boat was and how she was doing. I prefer sacrificing the money and have peace in my mind, Kurt said, who lived between 1921 and 2006.

 

COMPANY FOR SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

In 1998, a separate company was founded, to deal with original Hallberg-Rassy spare parts and accessories. Today Hallberg-Rassy Parts AB is a company within the Hallberg-Rassy group and employs six persons purely dedicated to dealing with this. In the web shop https://shop.hallberg-rassy.com/ you find thousands of items with photo and pricing.

The Hallberg-Rassy 62, the new flagship in 1998

YET A LARGER FLAGSHIP

The time had come for yet a new dimension and yet a larger flagship. The Hallberg-Rassy 62 was presented on the drawingboard 1997 and had world premiere at the boatshow in Düsseldorf January 1998. 25 boats were built until 2011. 

Shoeless Queen and King on a Hallberg-Rassy

SHOELESS QUEEN VISITED HALLBERG-RASSY

In 1999,  His Royal Majesty, the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, visited the Hallberg-Rassy 53 at the boat show in Düsseldorf, accompanied by Her Royal Majesty, the Queen of Sweden, Silvia. Both the King and the Queen took their shoes off when visiting this beautiful boat, as the maritime tradition tells to do. How many else have ever seen a shoeless Queen? 

HALLBERG-RASSY 43

In August 2001, as model year 2002, the Hallberg-Rassy 43 was introduced. Sales really exploded and the model won many awards: 

  • Yacht of the Year in Germany,
  • Best Midsize Cruiser in the USA,
  • Best overall Cruisingboat in the USA as well as
  • Top 10 in the US
  • Import Boat of the Year in Australia
The new production workshop, built in 2002

A NEW PRODUCTION WORKSHOP IN 2002

As a result of the sales success of the Hallberg-Rassy 43, to keep up with all orders yet another workshop was built in 2002. With the new modern building, another five production slots were allowed, keeping all other functions on the same area.

HALLBERG-RASSY 40

At the Open House weekend August 2002, as model year 2003, the Hallberg-Rassy 40 was introduced. She won a further bunch of prizes; 

  • European Yacht of the Year in the largest category
  • Overall winner in Boat of the Year in USA 2004
  • Best Liveaboard cruising boat in USA 2004
  • Sailboat of the Show in Stockholm
Yet a new building in 2003

YET A NEW BUILDING 2003

In 2003 yet another building was renewed, creating space for CNC milling, cold stock and a garage for installing the keel on the largest models as well as storing the travellift.

HALLBERG-RASSY WITH A STREET NAMED IN ITS HONOUR

In 2005, Hallberg-Rassy was honoured with its own street name: Hallberg-Rassyvägen, in English: - The Hallberg-Rassy Street.

NEW LAMINATION WORKSHOP 2007

In 2007 a new lamination workshop was built at Hallberg-Rassy Marinplast in Kungshamn. When the older workshops were built, the largest yacht these had to accommodate was a thirty-five footer. The new workshop has space for the simultaneous building of two large yachts, which corresponds a lot better with both the current and the future product mix.

NEW HEAD OFFICE 2008

In 2008 Hallberg-Rassy opened a new head office. The new office building is situated partly on the water, resting on pillars.

The office is part of the harbour and the demonstrator boats are found just outside the office windows. There is also a large mooring deck. At the far end of the building above the water there is a large conference room. 

The new head office hosts the sales department, reception, financial department, development and CEO. There are also guest showers and toilets that have easy access from the outside. 

The offices that moved down to the harbour gave place for a state of the art varnishing machine, for which there was no space before. 

HALLBERG-RASSY 372

Already the very first day the Hallberg-Rassy 372 was launched, August 2008 for the 2009 season, this was reported: What a great day! Already from the first moment it was clear: the new Hallberg-Rassy 372 sails like a dream! She is quick, easy to steer and she is great fun to sail, always under control. She exceeds all high expectations. She has wonderful sweet lines, even more beautiful in reality than on the synthetic images. This is another milestone in Hallberg-Rassy's history.

No wonder the Hallberg-Rassy 372 both won European Yacht of the Year 2010Luxury Cruiser and was also concluded Best in Test in a large comparison between 8 fast 37 footers in Seilas magazine from Norway.

TWO NEW STATE OF THE ART VARNISHING MACHINES

In 2008 and 2009 two new state of the art varnishing machines were installed. This improved both finish, durability of the varnish and environmental care.  The new headoffice in the harbour crated the necessary space for those machines.

FACEBOOK SINCE EARLY 2011

Hallberg-Rassy started its Facebook page early 2011. The account is very active and probably the most "liked" Facebook page in the yachting industry.

The new flagship 2011 - Hallberg-Rassy 64

NEW FLAGSHIP - THE HALLBERG-RASSY 64

At introduction, the Hallberg-Rassy 64 was the largest Hallberg-Rassy ever built. The world premiere took place at the Düsseldorf boat show in 2011. The Hallberg-Rassy 64 was the largest sailboat at the world's largest boat show.

The Hallberg-Rassy 64 is a world cruiser for a family crew - operated by Push Button Sailing.

SHOWROOM OPENED 2012

In January 2012 a new Showroom was opened. Four yachts can be showed the whole winter. This is an excellent opportunity to view the boats, without the crowds normally associated with a boat show.

THE HALLBERG-RASSY 44

The world premiere for the Hallberg-Rassy 44 was at Boot Düsseldorf in January 2017. The new 44 is the first Hallberg-Rassy to feature twin rudder blades and and elegant integrated bow nose for lightwind sails. The Hallberg-Rassy 44 is a sales succcess from start and a forerunner for future Hallberg-Rassy models. She won a Boat of the Year title in the USA 2020.

HALLBERG-RASSY 50 - EUROPEAN YACHT OF THE YEAR 2022

The Hallberg-Rassy 50 has been elected winner of the honourable title European Yacht of the Year 2022 in the prestigious Luxury Cruiser category. That means that the Hallberg-Rassy 50 has been ranked as the most interesting and promising newcomer of its class by a professional jury consisting of journalists from Europe’s twelve leading yachting magazines.

 

HALLBERG-RASSY 400 - BOAT OF THE YEAR IN THE USA 2023

The Hallberg-Rassy 400 has won the Boat of the Year Award 2023 within Import Boat of the Year and shared Overall Winner in the Cruising World magazine from the USA. This annual award recognize and honor the best and newest sailboat models introduced to the North American market. Nominating panels consisting of the magazine’s editors have examined all nominees in detail, both sailing, on deck, under deck and in every detail. Of the Hallberg-Rassy 400, Cruising World Boat of the Year director Herb McCormick stated: As cruising sailors, we’ve long been enamored with Swedish builder Hallberg-Rassy, and that respect has been reflected in past editions of our Boat of the Year contest, where the company has enjoyed numerous successes. It’s oftentimes not easy for a company with proven results to change what’s already a successful formula. But this latest 40-footer is a yacht that has certainly evolved, and in doing so, it’s the 2023 Import Boat of the Year.”

 

THE HALLBERG-RASSY 69

The new flagship for 2024, the Hallberg-Rassy 69 is both the largest and  greatest Hallberg-Rassy of all time. This majestic yacht offers lots of comfort and at the same time the sail handling and marina manoevers are managable by a family crew.
