The all-new Hallberg-Rassy 372 builds on the great success of the Hallberg-Rassy 342, of which over 220 were sold in less than three years. The aft cockpit HR 372 is in every aspect an all-new Frers design and is not based on the centre cockpit Hallberg-Rassy 37 and does not replace the HR 37.
The Hallberg-Rassy 372 is an aft-cockpit coastal sailor with ocean going capabilities. Compared to the Hallberg-Rassy 37, the 372 is only a few centimetres longer, is 5 cm wider and has a fuller transom. The canoe body is slightly shallower and the keel slightly deeper and lighter. The aft and mid sections of the hull are flatter and the bow section sharper. The sheer line is more pronounced. The yacht breathes graceful elegance.
The mast is 1.05 m taller. The modern sail plan is made for easy handling, with its greater mainsail and only slightly overlapping genoajib. There is an option of self tacking jib. A powerful backstay tensioner is fitted as standard. The rig has triple swept-back spreaders, the top shrouds go out to near the toe rail and the lowers are positioned to the superstructure for easy passage on deck. An optional gennaker is flown between the masthead and a removable bowsprit. Frers’ speed prediction diagram indicates that the new Hallberg-Rassy 372 will even be faster than the HR 40, which is recognized as a fast yacht.
Below deck the interior is roomy and bright. There are two deck hatches in the saloon. All side port lights are opening and the same large size as on the HR 54. The galley is big, U shaped and seagoing. The galley worktop is in PlexiCore, a solid composite stone material. Both sofas in the saloon are a full two metres long. The roomy head is equipped with a wet locker and has a separate shower with PlexiGlass doors. The forward cabin is extremely large and generous. The v berth is 210 cm long, 68 cm wide at the foot end and 202 cm in the aft end. There is a seat, two hanging lockers and two vanities in the forward cabin. The aft cabin also has a comfortable and unusually wide double berth.
Construction of the yacht proceeds even better than planned. That means that hull Number 1 will be on display in the water at the Hallberg-Rassy Open House in August of 2008 and may be ordered now for spring 2009 delivery.

Litres cylinder volume. Mounted with four rubber feet on strong foundations and
saildrive to reduce vibration and noise. Twobladed folding propeller.
Water-cooled rubber exhaust pipe. Freshwater cooled engine. The hot
freshwater circuit is led into a 40 L / 11 US gallon well insulated hot water
tank. Due to the good insulation water remains hot for many hours after the
engine has been run. The engine is served by a separate 62 Ah 12 V starter
battery. There is a large filter for cooling water. The bilge pump has been
installed in a position where it can be cleaned even in extremely bad weather
conditions.
Diesel Approximately 270 litres / 72 US gallon in
a stainless steel tank. The tank is filled through deck inlets. Between tank and
engine there is a further large water and coarse filter in addition to the one
on the engine. The cruising range in calm waters at cruising speed (2/3 of full
RPM) is approximately 670 nautical miles.
Water Water capacity
is approximately 360 litres / 96 US gallon. There is a water gauge. The water
goes to a pump and then on to a 2 litres pressure equalising tank, and from
there via a manifold is distributed to a 40 Litres / 11 US gallon hot water
calorifier (heated by 230 V supply and the engine’s cooling water) and the
cold water system. As soon as a water tap is turned on the water which is under
pressure in the pipes starts to flow. As soon as the pressure reduces the
electric pump begins to work, and will continue until the pressure is built up
again after closing tap. Filling of water tanks is through deck inlet.
There are two bilge pumps; one manual and one high capacity electric emergency
bilge pump that is floodable.
Electricity Two separate
circuits, one with 12 Volt and 62 Ah start battery for engine start and 12 Volt
240 Ah deep cycle flat plate traction batteries for general use on board.

lighting is used and is located in all the important positions. There are
adjustable lights above berths and settee. 12 V electric sockets at inner

used under water. For the toilet special non-diffusing hoses are used. All
electric cables are, where possible, laid in special tubes and where this is not
possible, cables are safely loomed away from the hull. There are large limber
holes so that any water can easily drain to the bilge. The bilge is accessible
by a removable floor panel without having to remove the steps.
Inspection hatches for easy access to sea cocks and speed transducer.
Three fire extinguishers; one fitted to the saloon table, one in the forward
cabin and one in the aft cabin.
