2000 Hallberg-Rassy 42F Mk II

The Hallberg-Rassy 42F Mk II is a center cockpit cruising sloop designed by German Frers and built in Sweden to Germanischer Lloyd 'A Ocean' certification for offshore sailing in all conditions. Hull #137 features a robust fiberglass construction with insulation above the waterline, classic teak decks, and a hard dodger with safety glass windshield. The boat carries 4.6 tons of lead ballast on a modified fin keel with 2-meter draft. Her rig uses Selden spars with hydraulic furling on both mast and forestay, electric primary and secondary Lewmar winches, and a stowable inner forestay for a hanked-on staysail or storm jib. A custom stern arch supports four 80-watt solar panels.

Below, a mahogany interior showcases Hallberg-Rassy's craftsmanship with an aft owner's en-suite stateroom, a forward guest en-suite stateroom, and a central salon featuring a large double settee with drop-leaf table. The starboard settee backrest raises to reveal a sea berth, yielding seven total sleeping berths with lee cloths throughout. Both heads include showers, large wash basins, and manual Jabsco pump toilets. The boat carries a 135-liter-per-hour water maker and electric water heater.

Storage is exceptional: four sail bins, three hanging lockers, seven drawer and shelf sets, 22 louvered lockers, full-length shelved stowage behind the port settee, deep chart storage beneath the chart table, sliding galley shelving, six head lockers, nine special-purpose and access lockers, and four deep bookshelves. A Volvo 76-horsepower TMD22 turbo diesel with approximately 3,500 hours provides auxiliary power through a foldable two-speed Gori propeller. A newly installed Panda Mini 8-kw generator has less than 10 hours of use. Electronics include a SeaTalk Ng backbone, three Raymarine chart plotters, three multi-instrument monitors, two autopilot monitors, digital color radar, and AIS, plus Standard Horizon VHF and ICOM SSB with Pactor modem. The sail inventory includes a new UK Sails mainsail, 137 Yankee Genoa, 110 working jib, inner forestay jib, storm jib, storm trysail, asymmetrical spinnaker, and reduced-area emergency mainsail. A davit-mounted 10-foot hard sailing dinghy with Yamaha 2.5-horsepower outboard serves as tender.
