Hallberg-Rassy 38
The Hallberg Rassy 38 is one of the Swedish yard's most respected bluewater cruising yachts. Well known for its robust GRP construction, excellent seaworthiness, and comfortable long-distance cruising capabilities, the HR 38 has earned a reputation as a dependable offshore cruiser. This 1980 example has been in the hands of her current owner for the past 26 years and has benefited from continuous maintenance and thoughtful upgrades throughout that time. The deck has been extensively refurbished (2015-2021), deck hatches were renewed in 2018, a new boom was fitted in 2017, and the standing rigging was replaced in 2006.
