HALLBERG-RASSY
TRADITION AND FRESH IDEAS IN A TASTEFUL BLEND
The original Hallberg-Rassy 43 has been built in no less than 150 units. As model year 2008, a new updated version, the Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk II, was presented. Production numbers 151-189 until 2012 were built as Mark II.
28 IMPROVEMENTS
- New slightly taller rig, where the mainsail is a little larger and there is a slight fractional rigging in line with the Hallberg-Rassy 37, 40, 48 and 54. The rig combines the sturdiness of the masthead rig with the easier trimming facilities of a fractional rigging
- All new deck mould
- New winch steps, which not only look great, it allows easier step into the cockpit and better height of the winch, giving improved accessibility
- Rounder curving between the superstructure roof and superstructure side
- The blue stripe around the cockpit is in gelcoat and is laminated into the deck
- The frames of the deck hatches for the saloon and v cabin are lowered
- The deck hatches of the aft cabin and the forward heads are lowered completely into the teak
- The aft deck locker lids are moved more aft, being better positioned over the actual locker for better access
- The cockpit teak is lowered into the level of the gelcoat, giving both better comfort, better looks and easier cleaning
- The alcove in the cockpit is lowered into the coaming, no frame disturbs the comfort when sitting here
- The seating comfort of the cockpit is improved by a better shape of the coaming, in line with the Hallberg-Rassy 54 and 342
- Improved shape of the windshield coaming gives better looks
- Larger locker lid for the gas bottles, allowing PK6 composite bottles
- The entrance ladder has a completely new design, with rounded steps and rounded side panels, improving the looks and the comfort when being used in a seaway
- New improved design on the handholds on the ceiling
- Bookshelf alcoves also in the v cabin
- Improved looks of the bookshelf alcoves
- Lowered division between the seat and the vanity in the v cabin, which gives a more open and airy feel in this area
- If armchairs are ordered, these are improved for both better looks and better comfort
- The upper ends of the bulkheads between saloon-nav table and saloon-galley are lowered, giving a more open feel
- In the galley, the fridge is improved to the same as used in the Hallberg-Rassy 48. That means built in evaporator, automatic light and three baskets in order to more easily organize the small items
- The bulkhead between the galley and the saloon is shortened a little towards the hullside
- That makes it possible to increase the work top area in the galley a little, without sacrificing space in the cockpit locker or the saloon
- The fiddle around the vanity in the walk through to the aft cabin is improved to the same as used in the Hallberg-Rassy 48, meaning built in grabrail
- If a deep freezer is ordered, this is improved to the same size as in the Hallberg-Rassy 48, with a basket, built in evaporator and automatic light
- New improved design of the carpet, where more of the beautiful teak and holly floor is showed at the ends
- Improved comfort for the navigation table seat
- Battery capacity is improved from 450 to 470 Ah
