The Hallberg-Rassy 340, designed by Germán Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy starting in 2019, represents the brand's entry into the modern 34-foot cruising segment. While the exact hull production count is currently unverified (?), the model is characterized by its fractional sloop rig and substantial displacement of 13184.0 lb, reflecting a focus on comfort and stability.

Best for:

This vessel is ideally suited for coastal and nearshore cruisers who prioritize interior volume and comfort, as indicated by the high frequency of dodger, cockpit canvas, and bow thruster installations. It appeals to owners seeking a robust, well-equipped platform for extended weekend trips and short passages rather than extreme offshore racing.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 13184.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.93, and a fin keel, the 340 possesses the physical attributes for offshore passage-making, though its primary design intent appears focused on comfortable coastal cruising rather than extreme bluewater endurance.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 38.2, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the same market of comfortable, performance-oriented coastal cruisers. The Hallberg-Rassy distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement (13184.0 lb) and a higher comfort ratio (23.51), offering a more stable, motion-dampened experience than these lighter-displacement rivals.
