Hallberg-Rassy 38 Centre Cockpit

The Hallberg-Rassy 38 centre cockpit is built at a yard dedicated to building high quality cruising sailboats. She is built by men and women with generations of boat building in their blood and who have long lived with the sea an the Swedish west coast. All the boats are a masterpiece in mahogany and teak. The finish is the trademark of traditional craftsmanship. Olle Enderlein has designed a fine yacht, perfectly balanced under all conditions. With a long keel and separate skeg and rudder, he has combined the traditional long keel and the modern fin keel types. The hull is in solid fiberglass.

202 Hallberg-Rassy 38's were built during 1977 - 1986 of which many are still cruising the world. The Hallberg-Rassy 38 is built for pleasant sailing and a comfortable life on board. This thoroughbred cruiser design is a well built yachtfor the recreation of your family and friends. The interior is well laid out. She has got the volume and displacement to carry everything a fair sized crew needs to bring for long passages at sea, including plenty of stowage for stores and personal belongings, plus a large water capacity. The high freeboard and low superstructure design gives you good volume below and a large deck.

This HR 38 was purchased by the current owner in 2016 in Melbourne, sailed around Tasmania for 2 years and moved north up the east coast as far as Cairns in 2021. Townsville has been the home port since 2021 and she has been utilised mainly for reef and local exploration. She has just returned from a 2 month expedition to the Louisiades Archipelago in south eastern Papua New Guinea. The boat is a tried and tested blue water cruiser, full equipped for totally autonomous, long distance cruising as well as a very comfortable and reliable coastal cruiser. The previous 2 owners as well as the current one have had a no nonsense approach to maintaining Taiko. She is now fully loaded and ready for another adventure.
