Sturdy, seaworthy centercockpit yacht built by the Swedish quality yard Hallberg-Rassy. The Hallberg-Rassy 53 is a reliable, safe bluewater cruiser for long hauls with a small crew. The deep centre cockpit with fixed windscreen and high coaming provides good protection and wide, unobstructed running decks allow safe movement even in rough conditions.

autonomy and there is plenty of storage space throughout the vessel in lockers, drawers and storage compartments. The level of craftsmanship in boatbuilding at the traditional Hallberg-Rassy shipyard on the island of Orust in the Swedish Western Archipelago sets standards: the quality of the moulded GRP, the finish of the interior joinery and the standard of the technical installations are beyond question.
