Hallberg Rassy 42 (Enderlein)

Description

The Hallberg-Rassy 42 (Enderlein), also known as the HR 42E or Hallberg-Rassy 42 (E), is a classic Swedish bluewater cruiser designed by Olle Enderlein (with collaboration from Christoph Rassy) and built by Hallberg-Rassy Varv in Sweden from 1980 to 1991, with 252–255 hulls produced. This center-cockpit yacht (primarily masthead ketch rig, though sloop versions were later introduced with a taller mast and larger genoa winches) represents one of the purest expressions of early HR ethos: a flush teak deck on a high-freeboard hull, protective fixed windscreen, solid fiberglass construction with encapsulated iron ballast in a deep bilge keel for protection and stability, and a spacious, well-appointed mahogany interior suited for long-distance ocean cruising or liveaboard use (berths for 4–6, private aft cabin with enhanced headroom via small raised coachroof, dual heads, full galley, and excellent storage).
