The Hallberg-Rassy 36 Mk II is a highly respected bluewater cruiser designed by German Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy in Henån on the west coast of Sweden. Introduced in 1995, the Mk II model features an extended transom that provides a convenient bathing platform and additional space in the aft cabin, including a larger double berth and improved stowage. The widened aft section and refined hull shape enhance comfort and slightly improve speed under sail compared to the Mk I. With a draft of just 1.70 meters, the yacht is versatile enough for both open-water sailing and navigating inland waterways.
The HR 36 Mk II is a capable and safe choice for sailors who value performance, comfort, and durability. The masthead rig allows for a well-balanced sail plan, contributing to a stable and predictable sailing experience. The moderate V-sections of the hull provide a comfortable motion at sea, often found in larger yachts. This yacht has proven herself on ocean crossings, including a class win in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), as well as in local racing circuits.
MAVERICK, a 1998 Hallberg-Rassy 36 Mk II, is in good condition for her age, with a well-maintained interior showing minimal signs of use. Fully equipped for offshore cruising and high-latitude sailing, this yacht has been extensively upgraded to ensure reliability and comfort. She features a Volvo Penta 57hp engine, in-mast furling, and new standing rigging along with a newer mainsail. Handling is made easy with two electric winches, a windlass, and a new bow thruster.
MAVERICK is also fitted with a diesel bulkhead heater with a separate tank, a diesel heater, and a range of navigation electronics, energy independence and a targa arch integrates davits for a dinghy, There is also large set of safety equipment. Overall a well-prepared yacht.
MAVERICK comes with full documentation, including VAT paid certification and a large amount of documentation. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly ready-to-sail Hallberg-Rassy 36 Mk II, designed and equipped for long-distance cruising in the northern hemisphere.
“It was wonderful to be just the two of us at sea, with the elements—Warm regards, Dick & MAVERICK.”
From a text message sent in 2023.
There is no doubt that MAVERICK has been a safe, steady, and beloved boat. My father, Captain Dick, spent all his free time at sea with MAVERICK, year-round, in all weather conditions. He spoke of her as a trusted friend, one with whom he faced everything the ocean had to offer. A companion to be cared for, who in return would always bring him safely to harbour. Their voyages, stretching from the archipelago of Stockholm to Bergen in Norway and later to Scotland, are a testament to the fact that MAVERICK was everything one could wish for in a boat.
By Frida, daughter and also a friend of MAVERICK.
