Hallberg-Rassy 69 is both the largest and the greatest yacht ever built by Hallberg-Rassy. This flagship can be handled by a family crew, by the concept of effortless sailhandling through PushButtonSailing. At the same time, there is room for deckhand or skipper if desired.
All current centercockpit Hallberg-Rassys can be ordered with a softtop or a hardtop. Both have excellent cockpit weather protection with glass panels in tempered glass, opening mid section, handholds at the sides and outstanding visibility forward from thee helmsman's position for both marina maneuvers and sail trim. The hardtop has an even greater weather- and noise-reduction. The softtop canvas canopy may be folded away forward and stored in a neat package.
The exterior exudes graceful elegance with its sweeping lines. The deck is unusually clean and completely flushed forward of the mast. The 14.8 cubic meters of deck locker spaces are huge. The long cockpit has two L-shaped sofas, a large and solid teak cockpit tables in high-gloss varnish. There is an optional cockpit fridge. The cockpit is well protected by the Hallberg-Rassy-typical windshield with folding softtop or hardtop. The helmsman’s position is unexposed and has good protection through a proper coaming around.
The interior is located on one level from bow to stern, important for moving freely, whether it is while sailing or at anchor or in port. There is an unusual amount of natural light, with eight hull portlights. You sit in the saloon and look out through the large hull portlights. They provide full contact with the outside world, while blinds can easily be pulled down if transparency or sunlight is not desired. A person of normal height looks upright through the large saloon portlights. The interior design options enables a walk-in closet, a cabin for a deckhand, and VIP guest cabins.
The engine is unusually well-dimensioned, even for a Hallberg-Rassy. It is a 6-cylinder Volvo Penta D6-300 of 300 hp with a high and flat torque with an increadible 790 Newton meters of torque at 2,100 rpm.
The engine room is large and has room for lots of technical equipment. It is also well sound insulated and easily accessible for service and maintenance.
The Hallberg-Rassy 69 is the winner of Bluewater Cruiser of the Year award in the British Yachting Awards 2024, voted by the readers of Sailing Today magazine in the UK.
The magazine writes: “This Germán Frers designed giant blends comfort and performance into a seductive package”
