2005 Hallberg-Rassy 34

Boat Overview

Launched in 1990, the Hallberg-Rassy 34 represents a significant evolution in the design of the renowned centre cockpit Hallberg-Rassy models. Production continued until 2005, with ongoing modifications enhancing accommodation layouts, including adjustments to bulkhead placements, head configurations, and portlight positioning. Over 450 units of the Hallberg-Rassy 34 were produced before the introduction of the Hallberg-Rassy 342.

Comments by Designer

‘The Hallberg-Rassy 34 with her efficient keel and fractional rig is a departure from the centre cockpit masthead type found on the 36, and a bigger sisters and it is good demonstration of the amount of thought and time dedicated to each one of the models offered.

This is a yacht which is more performance orientated, but keeping with the customary directions from Mr Rassy, also easy to steer and well balanced.

The aft cockpit is large and well-protected from the sea. The rig is simple and sturdy. The interior volume is very well distributed with good headroom and elbow space All in all, a very nice yacht that will remain attractive for many years.’
