Just 202 units of the Hallberg-Rassy 38 were hand built in Sweden during 1977 - 1986 and designed by Olle Enderlein. The Hallberg-Rassy 38 is built at a yard dedicated to building high quality cruising sailboats. These vessels are certified by Lloyds Register of Shipping.
She was the very first Hallberg-Rassy with the blue stripe around the hull. That came to be one of many iconic Hallberg-Rassy features. Hallberg-Rassy 38 is built for pleasant sailing and a comfortable life on board. This thoroughbred cruiser design is a well-built yacht for 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. 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. All the boats are a masterpiece in mahogany and teak.
Lark is a joy to sail. She will take you comfortably cruising for many years to come. She is located on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
