HALLBERG-RASSY
HALLBERG-RASSY 40
The Hallberg-Rassy 40 was built from 2002-2018 in 162 units. Between 2016 and 2018 the improved Hallberg-Rassy 40 Mk II was built. The Hallberg-Rassy 40 offers great comfort for long distance sailing.
GREAT COMFORT FOR LONG DISTANCE CRUISING
She may be ordered with comfort equipment such as washing machine, generator or watermaker. The layout offers much storage and provides excellent comfort. By using the space in the cockpit coaming, she even offers headroom in the walk through to the aft cabin. There is a separate shower with plexi glass doors in the heads compartment. This interior allows for some special solutions like the famous Hallberg-Rassy Armchairs in the saloon. This feature was introduced by Hallberg-Rassy as the first boatyard in the world already in 1984. The saloon is also available with traditional settees.
EASY ACCESS, EASY MAINTENANCE, GOOD SOUND INSULATION
Technical equipment is installed in the huge engine room. There you find gear such as main engine, gen set, pumps, filters, charger, inverter, a spare propeller and a lot more. That allows for easy access, easy maintenance and good sound insulation. Main inspection doors are to the starboard side, but there are also additional access from the front and from the floor in the cockpit locker. The floor in the cockpit is bolted in place, so that the engine may be lifted out the same way it came in. Hallberg-Rassy boats are sailed actively and intensively for a very long time. Sooner or later parts need to be replaced such as engine or tanks. Then it is good to know that those parts may be taken out the same way they got in; through natural openings of the boat. That is what you need on a Blue Water Cruiser.
AWARD WINNING AROUND THE WORLD
The Hallberg-Rassy 40 has won no less than four attractive awards:
- She was presented European Yacht of the Year in the largest category 2002
- Overall winner in Boat of the Year in USA 2004
- Best Liveaboard cruising boat in USA 2004
- Sailboat of the Show in Stockholm 2002
The sailboat of the show jury said:
“The Hallberg-Rassy 40 is a long distance cruiser of highest quality from the Swedish island Orust. The boat is the result of the yard’s long experience in boatbuilding. This has in the Hallberg-Rassy 40 been further developed to a discrete elegance. Without looking at trends, this is a modern yacht built to highest standards in respect of equipment and comfort.”
