Boat Overview
Boat Description
The Hallberg Rassy Yard has specialized in series production of seaworthy and comfortable deep water boats of a quality that not even the classic hand built sailing boats can match. We have found how first class joinery can be accomplished with modern industrial methods, and how the beauty of the classic sailing boat hull can be combined with modern sailing techniques.
This was the concept behind our new boat, the HR 26. Designer Olle Enderlein has chosen to create strength and spaciousness through a relatively beamy
hull. The HR 26 is built with a fin keel, which is integral with the hull. Thus the cast iron ballast is incapsuled in the keel, a construction that has proved superior in giving a fin keel the required robustness.
The transom hung rudder results in the best possible efficiency and at the same time the tiller does not encroach on the space in the cockpit. The precisely calculated seating height in the cockpit does not only give you effective protection, but it also affords you safety due to the good visibility forward.
Characteristic of all Hallberg Rassy boats is the flawless joinery, in which every single detail is a combination of utility and beauty. The whole of the interior trim is light and inviting.
The galley is extremely well equipped and includes a propane gas or paraffin stove, whichever you prefer, a built-in ice box, sink, foot-operated fresh water pump and rack for crockery. The fresh water tank contains 65 litres, and the headroom in the galley is the whole of 6 feet.
The stable table has three positions full width in harbour, half width with rails at sea and completely folded when the bunks are used. The HR 26 has four berths, each of which is at least 2 metres long and 70 centimetres wide at shoulder height. The toilet space has also been ergo-metrically designed There is plenty of stowage space and a separate wardrobe. The hardened glass windows in anodized aluminium frames are located at a level giving you a good view of the life going on around you in harbour, a feature that contributes greatly to the pleasure you can enjoy on board the HR 26. A protective rubbing strake runs right around the whole of the hull - a valuable feature in busy harbours at the height of the season.
