Hallberg Rassy 36

The Hallberg-Rassy 36 MK I, designed by the renowned Germán Frers and built by the prestigious Swedish shipyard Hallberg-Rassy, is considered one of the best bluewater cruisers in its class. Solid, safe and built to quality standards that are still difficult to match today, it is a boat intended to tackle long passages in total comfort, while maintaining a high value on the used-boat market over time.

The vessel offered is a 1994 private owner example, flying the Italian flag and with RINA certification valid until 2029. In recent years it has been constantly maintained and updated with numerous documented work, making it ready to sail without the need for immediate mechanical or system-related works.

In 2018 an IMPORTANT PREVENTIVE TREATMENT AGAINST OSMOSIS was carried out, including a complete blasting of the hull and the application of five coats of Gelshield International, a high-value intervention that demonstrates the care with which the boat has always been looked after.

The Volvo Penta MD22 engine, with around 2,400 engine hours, is one of the most reliable power units installed on this model. Over the years, servicing has been carried out regularly and various maintenance interventions have been performed, including the overhaul of the alternator and the recent replacement of the starter motor, ensuring high reliability even for long passages.

From a sailing standpoint, the boat is equipped with a 2017 laminated mainsail, a 2020 laminated genoa and an original Dacron yankee kept in excellent condition. The running rigging has been renewed and the deck hardware also includes a Max Prop folding propeller with orientable blades, an electric Lofrans X2 anchor windlass, a 20 kg Delta anchor and 70 meters of chain, offering a complete and ready-to-use setup.
The systems have also been the subject of a major upgrade. There is a modern electrical installation with solar panels, service batteries and replaced wiring, a Victron Battery Monitor, a Victron charge distributor and an inverter, a configuration that guarantees excellent electrical autonomy during stays at anchor.
To complete the equipment, there is a Raymarine Axiom 9 plotter, a Lowrance VHF and the Autoterm Air 4D heating installed in 2025, making the boat perfectly usable even during the shoulder season.

The interiors are one of the main strengths of this Hallberg-Rassy. The classic solid mahogany joinery, made with the build quality that made the Swedish yard famous, is in really very beautiful and well-preserved condition. The layout includes a spacious owner cabin aft, a double cabin forward and a large central dinette which, when needed, can accommodate two additional single berths. The longitudinal galley is complete with a refrigerator with an integrated freezer compartment and in 2021 a new ENO Grand Large galley with oven and two burners was installed. Completing the interior layout is a spacious, well-organized bathroom, ideal even for long stays aboard.

In recent years, many components have also been replaced, including steering shaft bearings, engine sea cocks and the related through-hulls, bilge pump, autoclave, shower drain pump, as well as the construction of the new bathing platform aft and the renewal of the interior cushions.

The deck retains the original 1994 teak, laid using the traditional screw-fastening system and characterized by the generous thickness typical of Hallberg-Rassy production of that period.
The teak has been regularly maintained over the years and, although showing the natural signs of time, it does not show any signs of water ingress or problems related to the fastenings.
Some areas show signs of wear and can be restored through localized interventions, without needing to redo the entire deck immediately. The condition of the teak has already been taken into account when determining the asking price, which is significantly lower than the market value of other Hallberg-Rassy 36 MK I models with comparable equipment and conditions.

So this is a particularly interesting opportunity for anyone looking to buy one of the most highly appreciated bluewater cruisers ever built, with a reliable mechanical setup, updated systems, recent sails and interiors in excellent condition, investing subsequently only in redoing the teak to bring the boat back to the very top of its potential.
