The Hallberg-Rassy 48 is a modern cruising yacht built on a Frers design, featuring a powerful sailplan and a beam carried well aft to maximize the aft cabin. The fiberglass hull spans nearly 50 feet with a 14.75-foot beam, powered by a 110 hp Volvo Penta diesel engine. The yacht cruises at 10.2 knots with a maximum speed of 12 knots, and is equipped with a hydraulic furling rig.
This example was originally specified with dual voltages and has been continuously upgraded and professionally maintained throughout her life. The yacht underwent a comprehensive mini-refit in Sweden from 2012 to 2013 at premier yards. Recent major work includes new standing rigging installed in 2019, a rig-off inspection completed in 2025, and a watermaker, navigation and sailing instruments updated in 2021. A wind generator was added in 2025.
Additional recent upgrades completed in 2022 and 2023 include new washer, batteries, and solar panels, along with a hydraulics overhaul performed by Lyman Morse and New England Boatworks while based in the United States. The yacht has benefited from meticulous ownership and comprehensive service records, with an extensive parts inventory maintained throughout her operational life.
