Hallberg-Rassy 48 MkII - Sold

The Hallberg-Rassy 48 stands as a true bluewater classic, crafted by the renowned Hallberg-Rassy shipyard on Sweden’s Island of Orust. The Hallberg-Rassy 48 builds on the successful concept of its predecessor, the Hallberg-Rassy 46, yet it is a completely new design. Every detail reflects fifteen additional years of experience from both Frers and Hallberg-Rassy. Produced between 2004 and 2020, a total of 90 hulls were delivered. Though only slightly longer overall, the 48 benefits from a 1.35-meter increase in waterline length, significantly boosting sailing performance.

Hallberg-Rassy 48, BLUE is an MkII version which was introduced in 2013 and improved on 15 points compared to the highly acclaimed predecessor 48 MkI. Hallberg-Rassy 48, BLUE was delivered in 2020 to her first owner and was purchased by her current, second owner in 2023 specifically for the ARC in 2024. BLUE received several updates and additional equipment in order to be ready for the rally, which she successfully finished in December 2024. After a few months of cruising in the beautiful Caribbean and a professional yacht transport (onboard transport vessel) back across the Atlantic, BLUE is now back in Sweden, located at her original home, at the Hallberg-Rassy yard in Ellös.

Designed for ease of handling by a small crew, the yacht features a signature centre cockpit that is both safe and well protected. The hard top offers great protection in weather conditions. The enlarged coachroof windows brighten the interior and provide improved visibility to the outside.

Inside, the layout offers generous accommodation including a spacious aft owner’s cabin, a longitudinal galley, a well-appointed navigation station, and two guest cabins forward. Two separate heads, each with a dedicated shower area, complete the layout, ensuring comfort and practicality for extended cruising. The interior is finished in European oak, and all cabins have air conditioning.
