Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Hallberg-Rassy 40 MkII is a modern cruising sloop designed by Germán Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy between 2015 and 2018. With a production run of only 6 hulls, this model represents a limited-edition evolution of the brand's classic cruising philosophy, featuring a displacement of 24250.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 34.34.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize seakeeping comfort and traditional build quality over high-performance racing metrics. Its substantial displacement and moderate sail area make it ideal for couples or small families seeking a stable, safe passage-making vessel.
Bluewater capability:
With a low capsize ratio of 1.74 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 225.4, the 40 MkII is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy seas.
Comparables:
Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 362 and 392, which share similar design DNA and build quality but differ in size and age. It also competes with the Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 and Hanse 415, though those models typically offer lighter displacement and more modern, performance-oriented layouts.
