The Hallberg-Rassy 37 is a well-built long distance cruiser with great comfort. The centre cockpit is very well protected by the HR typical wind screen. There is a good aft deck, making movement on deck easy. Her interior layout allows for an airy aft cabin, well separated from the saloon, yet easily accessible. The big engine room even allows for installation of a power generator. Her tankage is generous for long range cruising. The woodwork is crafted by experienced boat builders.
The rig is slightly fractional but still forward and aft lower shrouds, combining stability and flexibility. The spreaders do not disturb the mainsail when sailing downwind over the oceans. As an option, it is possible to fly a masthead gennaker from a removable bow sprit.
In the November 2006 issue of Cruising World magazine the Hallberg-Rassy 37 is called a "Built-for-anything beauty," furthermore: "The boat is touted as a well-built long distance cruiser. While others may talk the talk, this one walks the walk. A test sail of the Hallberg-Rassy 37 proves that with this model, the attention to detail is what makes it a delight. The boat's seakindly performance gives the assurance that it can take you anywhere, and once you get onboard, that's exactly where you'll want to go."
The Hallberg-Rassy 37 won "Boat of the Year 2006" in the category Production Cruiser 37-39 ft in the January 2006 issue of Cruising World magazine.

Room Engine: Volvo Penta D2-55/130S, 41 kW/55 HP 4 cylinder 2.2 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 340 litres / 91 US gallons in
stainless steel tanks, one appx. 225 litres / 61.5 US gallons below the floor in
saloon with fuel gauge and another one appx. 110 litres / 29.5 US gallons under
the sofa. The tanks are 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 is approximately 700 nautical
miles.
Water Water capacity is approximately 400 litres / 107
US gallons in three tanks; two located under the floor in the saloon, both
holding appx 80 litres / 21.5 US gallons, and the forward tank 240 litres / 64
US gallons. 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 gallons 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 one 12 Volt 240 Ah traction batteries for
general use on board, the latter being covered by two traction batteries.
Charging of batteries is by 115 A alternator from engine. Mainly halogen
lighting is used and is located in all the important positions. There are
adjustable stainless halogen lights above berths and settee. 12 V electric
sockets at inner chart table and in the cockpit. Electric panel with circuit
breakers at inner chart table. There is a water and diesel meter.
International navigation lights and steaming light with switch on the panel for
extra safety. The electric panel has provision for additional outlets. A wiring
diagram is supplied with each boat.
Heating Webasto Airtop 3500
Diesel, 3.5 kW, with outlets in saloon, forward cabin, heads compartment and aft
cabin. As far as possible double heater hoses are used for insulation
purpose. Also, the hull is well insulated and therefore heating and consequently
electric consumption will be minimal. The heating exhaust flue is led outside
through the blue decorative stripe. The heating unit is installed in the
engine room and is easily accessible for servicing. All outlets, except in the
saloon, can be regulated separately.
Refrigeration An Isotherm
refrigeration with electrical Danfoss compressor unit is fitted for the icebox.
The unit is economical to run and is operated from the 12 Volt supply.
Instrumentation Above the sliding hatch instruments Furuno

Compass, RPM-meter, engine hours counter, oil pressure indicator and voltmeter
for engine start at the steering pedestal. Tank meters for fuel and fresh water,
located at the electric central above the inner chart
table.
Ventilation Four hatches, eight opening port holes,
companionway washboards, two Dorade vents in the saloon, three
automatic electrolux type ventilators on the foredeck, over the head and in the
aft cabin.
Steering Wheel steering with leather covered
steering wheel. Wire steering with emergency tiller. Illuminated compass
and single lever engine control.
Safety and General All outside
skin fittings are speedily and securely sealed by using ball-valves with
Delrin-sealer. Double hose clips are 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.
