I can’t say enough about Hallberg-Rassy 46’s in general. It’s tough to imagine a finer bluewater cruising sailboat. I’ve have had the pleasure of logging thousands of miles, delivering Hallberg-Rassy 46’s in Sweden, up and down both coasts of the U.S., and in Mexico. This is far and away one of the nicest bluewater cruising boats available. Comfort, performance, stowage, and excellent construction details on this proven design are just a few of the reasons that the Hallberg-Rassy 46 is such a timeless and sought-after world cruiser.

The decks and coachroof are overlaid with high quality Burmese teak with a caprail on raised bulwark and teak handrails on the coach roof.

The cockpit is protected by a factory-installed hard dodger with tempered glass. Varnished companionway chart tables are located on each side of the companionway. On deck stowage is in three large lockers. Forward is a top opening chain locker (825 litres) with shelf and room for fenders, lines and other gear.
