HALLBERG-RASSY
A TRUE BLUWATER CLASSIC
This is a true blue water classic, built from 1982 - 1997 with 89 hulls completed. It is a superb boat for world wide cruising, with ample space for all possible equipment. Her clean flush deck is highly appreciated.
In the beginning, she was only built as a ketch. In the end, almost only sloop rigs were ordered. If there was a sloop rig, there was a taller main mast. Mast position and chainplates remained the same on sloops and ketches. Furthermore, the genoa sheet winches were larger on the sloop configuration than on the ketch.
The lead keel is moulded into a GRP pocket that is part of the hull.
A few yachts were built in the special Caribia edition, with a different deck that had a short superstructure with portlights. The galley was located forward of the evelated saloon.
