Hallberg-Rassy 69 nominated for Best Boats 2025 in the USA

23 Aug 2024

We are pleased to announce that the Hallberg-Rassy 69 is nominated for Best Boats 2025 by Sail magazine from the USA. Winners will be presented in the January/February 2025 issue of Sail.

Sail magazine writes: The new flagship from Hallberg-Rassy is the largest yacht produced to date by the Swedish builder that is known for its stout, thoughtful bluewater cruising boats. The completely flush deck from the mast forward helps give the boat a lean, fast profile – even with the hardtop on hull No. 1 incorporating the traditional Hallberg-Rassy windscreen and adding more sun and weather protection in the cockpit. All living belowdecks is on one level for easy movement fore and aft, with the seaworthy galley to starboard. Unlike some large yachts that feel like dance halls below, the Hallberg-Rassy 69 has a remarkably cozy feel, in part due to the layout itself but also the beautiful interior joinery and abundance of natural light. Because it’s a Hallberg-Rassy, there are also pragmatic details like a day head with a wet locker, practical sea berths, a well-insulated walk-in engine room for ease of maintenance and meticulousy installed and documented electrical systems. Showcasing 80 years of top-quality bluewater boatbuilding this flagship is one of superlatives.
