About the Hallberg Rassy 41 Sailboat

Built between 1975 and 1981, this Swedish-designed cruiser represents Hallberg-Rassy's commitment to seaworthy construction during the brand's formative years. Designer Olle Enderlein created a substantial 41-footer that balances offshore capability with reasonable handling characteristics, producing just 105 hulls over its six-year production run. The masthead ketch rig configuration offers versatility in sail handling, particularly valuable for shorthanded cruising or challenging weather conditions. With a displacement of 21,825 pounds and ballast of 8,378 pounds, this is a solidly built boat that prioritizes stability and comfort over light-air performance. The fin keel design provides good windward ability while maintaining the directional stability expected from a serious cruising yacht. The comfort ratio of 34.68 indicates excellent motion at sea, making this boat well-suited for extended offshore passages and long-distance cruising. The conservative capsize screening formula of 1.7 reflects the design's seaworthiness and resistance to knockdown in heavy weather. While the SA/Displacement ratio of 15.86 suggests moderate sailing performance in light conditions, the robust construction and thoughtful proportions make this an ideal choice for cruisers prioritizing safety, comfort, and reliability over racing performance.
