Easy to handle
The new model is easy to sail with her contemporary hull
lines and modern sailplan with only slightly overlapping
genoajib or optional selftacker. A Code Zero or gennaker
may be flown between the masthead and a removable bowsprit.
An under-deck mounted genoajib furler Furlex TD is standard
equipment. Also a powerful backstay tensioner with 1:24
purchase is standard equipment. The top shrouds and the
lower shrouds are separated to individual chainplates, to
allow easy passage on deck and good sheeting of the genoajib.
The cockpit is generous and over 2.35 m long. There is easy
access to the boat when entering from the transom. Hallberg-Rassy
typical features such as the windscreen, integrated rubbing
strake and a lead keel on a proper bilge come without saying.
Teak toe rail
The deck to hull joint is laminated together before the
interior is built in and this gives a high torsional strength
factor. The toerail has a teak capping and the rainwater
is drained in hoses under the waterline to prevent streaks
on the hullside.
Bright and roomy interior
The interior is bright and unusually roomy for her size.
There are fourteen light inlets in total; there are four
skylights, of which two are in the saloon. All nine portlights
are opening and the same size as the Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk
II. The locker doors are flush and have invisible hinges.
The saloon is sensationally long and wide for the boatsize.
Both the L sofa and the straight settee are a full two meters
long. The mast support is in direct conjunction with the
main bulkhead and does not obstruct the saloon.
Seagoing galley
The seagoing galley does not interfere with the natural
flow through the boat. Someone working in the galley does
not obstruct the access to the aft cabin. There are deep
double sinks and a fridge with a basket to organize small
items. The countertop is solid PlexiCor composite stone.
Both the aft and forward cabins are generous. The aft cabin
has two opening portlights and a hanging locker. The berth
is 206 cm long, 143 cm in the wide end and 100 cm at the
footend. The forward cabin benefits from its own vanity
and hanging locker.
The toilet compartment has excellent ventilation with opening
portlight and skylight. The skylight is fitted with milk
coloured glass to obscure view but allow light through.
The countertop and sink are solid PlexiCor composite stone.
360 miles range
Tank volume is large for her size and the engine is generously
powered with 22 hp / 16.2 kW and the cruising range at 2/3
of full RPM is about 360 nautical miles.
LED navigation lights are standard equipment and have very
low power consumption, only a tenth of traditional navigation
lights.
