New aft cockpit model for Hallberg-Rassy

The all-new Hallberg-Rassy 372 builds on the great success of the Hallberg-Rassy 342, of which over 220 are sold in less than three years. The aft cockpit HR 372 is in every aspect an all-new Frers design and is not based on the centre cockpit Hallberg-Rassy 37 and does not replace the HR 37. It's quite a big move for Hallberg-Rassy who have stayed with building only Centre Cockpit Cruisers for many years. The current price is €220 700 Euros ex VAT which equates to £175,736 ex VAT making £206,489 inc VAT at current exchange rates of 0.7963 Euros / Pound. The boat will be exhibited at the Düsseldorf boat show in January 2009 but may be ordered already now for 2009 delivery.

The Hallberg-Rassy 372 is an aft-cockpit coastal sailor with ocean going capabilities. Compared to the Hallberg-Rassy 37, the 372 is only a few centimetres longer, is 5 cm wider and has a fuller transom. The canoe body is slightly shallower and the keel slightly deeper and lighter. The aft and mid sections of the hull are flatter and the bow section sharper.

The engine is a generously sized 42kW/55HP with an estimated range under engine of 670 nautical miles at 2/3 of top RPM, 6 knots, with the optional Gori propeller with overdrive.

The genoa jib furler has an under deck mounted drum. The purpose is not gaining more sail area but to get clean deck lines. The forward visibility is yet as good as with an over-deck furler and you may anchor in mud without the foresail being stained by a dirty chain. Also the optional electric anchor windlass is mounted under deck. The distance between the windlass and the chain storage is essential for a self-stowing chain and this is achieved by the HR 372’s special design and layout arrangement.

Below deck the interior is roomy and bright. There are two deck hatches in the saloon. All side port lights are opening and the same large size as on the HR 54. The galley is big, U shaped and seagoing. The galley worktop is in PlexiCore, a solid composite stone material. Both sofas in the saloon are a full two metres long. The roomy head is equipped with a wet locker and has a separate shower with PlexiGlass doors. The forward cabin is extremely large and generous. The v berth is 210 cm long, 68 cm wide at the foot end and 202 cm in the aft end. There is a seat, two hanging lockers and two vanities in the forward cabin. The aft cabin also has a comfortable and unusually wide double berth.
