Overview
The Hallberg-Rassy 29, hull number 487, built in 1990, (total 571 built) is a superbly presented example of one of the most admired small offshore cruisers ever built. Designed by Olle Enderlein and built to the exacting standards of Hallberg-Rassy Varv, Sweden, she combines exceptional seaworthiness, fine sailing manners, and remarkable build quality for her size.
This particular HR-29 has been comprehensively equipped for modern cruising, featuring a Raymarine Axiom 9+ multifunction chart plotter, AIS transponder, and Raymarine SeaTalk NG network. Comfort and safety are further enhanced with Eberspächer D1 diesel cabin heating, recent Elvstrom sails (2023) fully battened main, teak deck, and a 4-man Ocean Safety liferaft.
Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, this vessel offers all the refinement and quality of larger Hallberg-Rassy yachts in a manageable 29-foot package ideal for coastal and offshore cruising alike.

Highlights & Notes
This Hallberg-Rassy 29 combines classic, sea-proven hull and rig design with a modern, high-spec instrument and navigation suite.
The teak deck and comfort upgrades (heater, stereo) add to her livability for cruising or liveaboard use.
The electronics package (Axiom 9+, AIS, multi displays) is rarely seen at this class, giving you navigation capability well beyond typical HR-29s.
Solid structural design, encapsulated keel, and HR reputation ensure a durable and seaworthy platform.
Ideal for a sailor who wants a compact yacht but doesn’t want to compromise on systems, safety, or comfort.
