| A world wide
reputation with world wide capabilities
There are few yards that enjoy such a global acclaim of
building long distance cruisers as Hallberg-Rassy. With
the HR 62 the tradition is followed; to continuously build
easy to sail cruising boats with good performance. The HR
62 also shows a number of significant improvements. The
co-operation with the Argentinean top designer, Germán
Frers, has been very successful with over 2,400 HR yachts
sold since 1989. Hallberg-Rassy is proud that this collaboration
has come about, and at the same time though aware of the
obligation to build world class yachts.
Yacht of the year
The HR 62 won the "Yacht of the year" award in
Germany in the largest class, over 50 ft. At the same time,
the HR 62 was voted the most popular model of all categories,
over all. No other boat got over a third of all votes, as
did the HR 62. The award is voted by 40,000 of the readers
of the most respected German magazine, Yacht.
Also, the Hallberg-Rassy 62 is presented as "Import
Cruising Boat of the Year 2006" in the January 2006
issue of Cruising World magazine from the USA.
Well arranged
Characteristic for Hallberg-Rassy layouts are that they
are all logical, well arranged and work for long periods
on board either at sea or in the harbour. As on all of the
HR yachts, the floor in the new 62 is the same level throughout
the boat. This contributes to easy access to all cabins.
The HR 62 has a very light and airy saloon with big opening
side windows as well as opening skylights. The displacement
of the yacht is designed not only to give the generous stowage
you need for long voyages, but also space for all modern
comfort equipment. Access to technical equipment is made
easy for service.
The yacht has generous tank capacity to undertake serious
cruising.
Well protected center cockpit
As expected on a Hallberg-Rassy, the cockpit is very well
protected, generous in size and offers good all-round visibility.
It is well suited for the various demands of the most difficult
climates from extreme cold to tropical heat. The cockpit
offers good shelter from a hardtop or soft top with an opening
mid section that works perfectly in cold as well as heat.
This solution has become synonymous with the modern cruising
yacht.
A powerful engine
A powerful engine is an important part of a long distance
cruiser. It runs at cruising speed (8.2 knots) at a low
1,300 RPM. Furthermore, a two geared three bladed folding
propeller with overdrive provides maximum performance under
power, an important point which cannot be emphasised enough
for extended voyages.
Push button sailing
Despite the fact that the boat is built as a top-of-the-range
yacht, she can virtually be sailed single handed. Push buttons
located at the steering pedestal allow you to raise and
lower the anchor, or set and sheet the sails. "Push
button sailing" is no longer just a symbolic expression,
it is reality already in the standard version.
Hallberg-Rassy 62 - the world cruiser for a family crew
Comments by her designer:
"As the top of the line of high quality offshore cruising
boats produced by this world renowned builder, the HR 62
represents years of experience and a synergy of efforts
on the part of Hallberg-Rassy and our design office to produce
the best possible yacht of its kind.
The high performance, well balanced, strong hull of moderate
draft is matched by an efficient and easy to handle sail
plan.
The areas reserved for leisure on deck are very generous
and the interior has plenty of natural light and ventilation.
A new owner will immediately be able to appreciate Hallberg-Rassy’s
know how building and fitting out their yachts, as much
as their design and performance in all conditions |
