Overview

Design and Build

The Hallberg-Rassy 29, hull number 487, was built in 1990 and remains one of the most respected small offshore cruising yachts ever produced. Designed by Olle Enderlein and built in Sweden, the Hallberg-Rassy 29 is known for her solid construction and dependable sailing characteristics. As a result, she has earned a long-standing reputation for seaworthiness and longevity. Of the 571 boats built, this model continues to be highly sought after.

Navigation and Equipment

This particular Hallberg-Rassy 29 has been carefully equipped for modern cruising. Navigation equipment includes a Raymarine Axiom 9+ multifunction chartplotter, an AIS transponder, and a Raymarine SeaTalk NG network. Together, these systems provide clear and reliable information both offshore and in coastal waters. Importantly, the electronics package is well suited to short-handed sailing.

Comfort and Accommodation

Additionally, onboard comfort is enhanced by Eberspächer D1 diesel cabin heating, making the yacht suitable for extended cruising in cooler conditions. The interior reflects the practical and refined layout Hallberg-Rassy is known for. As a result, the space feels secure, functional, and comfortable for time spent aboard.

Sails and Deck Gear

The sail inventory includes recent Elvström sails from 2023, with a fully battened mainsail that supports efficient and controlled sailing. Furthermore, on deck she benefits from a teak deck and a 4-man Ocean Safety liferaft. These features reinforce the yacht’s offshore credentials and overall readiness.

Condition and Location

Importantly, this Hallberg-Rassy 29 has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded throughout ownership. Consequently, she offers the quality, safety, and refinement usually associated with much larger yachts, but in a highly manageable 29-foot package.

The yacht is currently ashore in Falmouth and available for inspection.
