About the HALLBERG-RASSY 36
Rig dimensions for MKI version. (1989-1994)
Designed by German Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy from 1989–2003, the Hallberg-Rassy 36 is a robust cruising sloop with 602 hulls produced. Its reputation for solidity is tempered by widespread reports of structural stress in the keel sump and potential deck core degradation.
- Best for:
- This boat suits serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and durability over high-performance racing, particularly those willing to invest in preventative maintenance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 16534.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.83, the boat is well-suited for offshore passages, provided the keel sump and rudder assembly are structurally sound.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to the Hallberg-Rassy 32 and 39 for similar build quality and cruising focus, or the Beneteau 373 and O'Day 38 for similar era and displacement, though the HR36 offers superior structural integrity.
