About the HALLBERG-RASSY 48 MKII
Shallow draft keel: 2m / 6.56ft
Designed by Germán Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy, the 48 MKII is a premium cruising sloop with a production run of 21 hulls from 2013–2020. Its substantial displacement of 40786.0 lb and comfort ratio of 38.7 reflect a design prioritizing stability and seakeeping over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who value a quiet, stable interior and robust construction, making it ideal for couples or small families seeking a comfortable bluewater passage maker.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.72 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 221.66, the 48 MKII is well-suited for offshore passages, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to the Hallberg-Rassy 43 and 53, as well as the Nauticat 46, due to its similar heavy-displacement Scandinavian build quality and focus on safe, comfortable cruising rather than racing performance.
