She tacks through tight channels like a boat half her size.
Hallberg Rassy quotes a cruising speed of 8 knots and a top speed of 9.5 knots under the standard Volvo Penta D2-75, numbers she holds comfortably even when the wind turns fickle. The in-mast mainsail uses full length vertical battens, a system that keeps proper sail shape even heavily reefed rather than the baggy curve furling mains are known for. Twin rudders splayed to the quarters share the helm load evenly, giving a consistent, honest feel whether she is flat and fast or heeled hard on the wind. It is the kind of performance that rewards a confident helmsman without punishing a cautious one.
Her bow tells you everything about how she sails.
A near vertical stem and integral bowsprit extend the waterline and the sailplan together, while a long, uncluttered foredeck carries that line aft without a kink. Wide side decks run the full length of the hull, useful the moment anyone needs to move forward in a blow. At the stern, the transom opens wide enough to expose the twin rudders it was built around, Hallberg Rassy’s clearest visual break from its own back catalogue. On a 13.7 metre hull with a 4.2 metre beam, the proportions favour speed over pure volume, and it shows in how purposeful she looks even standing still.
Light finds its way into every corner below deck.
Multiple coachroof windows and topside portlights flood the saloon with daylight, a detail that matters as much at anchor as it does underway. The owner’s cabin sits aft with its own hatch for ventilation and a view out rather than a sealed box, while the forward cabin and saloon settees bring total sleeping capacity to six across two cabins, with room for one crew member aboard. Central heating runs through the accommodation for cooler passages, and moulded handholds line the companionways, a quiet reminder that this is a boat built for moving about safely at sea, not just for sitting at the dock.
Everything a short handed crew needs sits within reach of the wheel.
The centre cockpit carries Hallberg Rassy’s signature windscreen, cutting the wind that would otherwise hit the helmsman square on during a long passage. Electric winches handle the sheets, while bow and stern thrusters and windlass controls are all wired to the cockpit pedestal, turning anchoring and close quarters manoeuvring into a push button exercise rather than a scramble forward. Lewmar progressive steering keeps the helm feel consistent regardless of how much load the rudders are carrying, so the boat never goes light or heavy without warning. It is cockpit engineering built around sailing alone or with one other person aboard.
She is built by a yard that still tests its own boats before selling them.
Germán Frers’s naval architecture sits behind every structural decision, engineered in house by Hallberg Rassy and powered by the same Volvo Penta D2-75 fitted across the smaller 40C. A 400 litre fuel tank gives roughly 500 nautical miles of range under power, enough for genuine passage making rather than short hops. Eight guests can gather on deck for a day out, with six sleeping comfortably below and space for one crew member on longer trips. At 13.7 metres on a 4.2 metre beam, she carries real additional volume over the 40C while staying within reach of a short handed couple.
