About the HALLBERG-RASSY 41
Designed by Olle Enderlein and built by Hallberg-Rassy, the Hallberg-Rassy 41 is a classic cruising ketch with 105 hulls constructed between 1975 and 1981. This data-driven synthesis highlights its reputation for robust construction while flagging critical structural maintenance points common to this vintage.
- Best for:
- This vessel is ideally suited for experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, heavy-displacement passage maker, particularly given the high prevalence of davit installations and auxiliary power upgrades like bow thrusters and wind generators.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 21825.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.7, the boat exhibits strong offshore stability and is well-regarded for bluewater cruising, supported by owner reports of extensive electronics and sail upgrades.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other heavy-displacement ketches from the 1970s such as the Tartan 41 or O'Day 40, sharing similar masthead ketch rigs and substantial displacement that prioritize seakindliness over raw speed.
