Hallberg Rassy 44 for sale in Southampton United Kingdom

The Hallberg-Rassy 44 is the first of a new generation of fast, comfortable cruising yachts from the renowned Swedish boat builder. German Frers has optimised the waterline with the plumb bow and upright transom giving excellent passage making times. The fixed bowsprit gives the stemhead clearance for anchoring and the perfect tack for an asymmetric and the lowering platform from the transom gives great bathing access and a dinghy dock.

The beam is carried further aft improving performance with the wind aft of the beam and the twin rudders give finger-tip control on the helm at all points of sail. The new hull form also benefits the interior layout giving space for a safe and comfortable galley in the walk-through to the aft of the yacht and a bright and airy aft cabin.

ESME KATE is a particularly good example of a Hallberg-Rassy 44 her European Oak interior and lighter upholstery give her a feeling of space in all areas of the accommodation. ESME KATE was supplied by us from new she is still in her original ownership with an experienced Hallberg-Rassy owner who kept her in the West Country and cruised Channel Ports North and South.

It is apparent she is not a hard used boat and she has been conscientiously cared for, she now represents the opportunity to sail a yacht from Hallberg-Rassy's current range of modern cruising yachts at a significant saving of time and cost so don't hesitate to make an appointment to view with Transworld Yachts at Hamble Point Marina.
