A World Wide Reputation with World Wide Capabilities

There are few yards that enjoy such a global acclaim of building long distance cruisers as Hallberg-Rassy. With the HR 62 the tradition is followed; to continuously build easy to sail cruising boats with good performance. The HR 62 also shows a number of significant improvements. The co-operation with the Argentinean top designer, Germán Frers, has been very successful with over 2,400 HR yachts sold since 1989. Hallberg-Rassy is proud that this collaboration has come about, and at the same time though aware of the obligation to build world class yachts.

Yacht of the Year

The HR 62 won the "Yacht of the Year" award in Germany in the largest class, over 50 ft. At the same time, the HR 62 was voted the most popular model of all categories, over all. No other boat got over a third of all votes, as did the HR 62. The award is voted by 40,000 of the readers of the most respected German magazine, Yacht. Also, the Hallberg-Rassy 62 was selected as "Import Cruising Boat of the Year 2006" in the January 2006 issue of Cruising World magazine.

Characteristic for Hallberg-Rassy layouts are that they are all logical, well arranged and work for long periods on board either at sea or in the harbor. As on all of the HR yachts, the floor in the HR 62 is the same level throughout the boat. This contributes to easy access to all cabins. The HR 62 has a very light and airy saloon with big opening side windows as well as opening skylights. The displacement of the yacht is designed not only to give the generous stowage you need for long voyages, but also space for all modern comfort equipment. Access to technical equipment is made easy for service. The yacht has generous tank capacity to undertake serious cruising.
