About the HALLBERG-RASSY 400
The 400 is the aft cockpit version of the 40C center cockpit. GRT: 18.07 NRT: 16.26
The Hallberg-Rassy 400, designed by Germán Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy starting in 2020, represents the brand's modern entry into the 40-foot cruiser segment. With a displacement of 24251.0 lb and a fractional sloop rig, it combines traditional Scandinavian build quality with contemporary performance metrics, though the exact total hulls built remains unconfirmed in current data.
- Best for:
- This vessel is ideally suited for coastal cruisers and short-to-medium offshore passages who prioritize comfort and ease of handling, as evidenced by the high prevalence of bow thruster additions (165 mentions) and cockpit canvas installations (80 mentions). Its fractional rig and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio (18.59) make it accessible for short-handed sailing without sacrificing stability.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a robust displacement of 24251.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.9, and a comfort ratio of 28.8, the HR400 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, a capability further supported by the high adoption of watermakers (20 mentions) and barrier coats (14 mentions) among owners.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.2, which offer similar fractional sloop rigs and beam widths around 13.71 ft, but the HR400 distinguishes itself with a significantly higher displacement (24251.0 lb) and a lower capsize ratio (1.9) for enhanced seakeeping.
