Hallberg-Rassy 39.  "Mistress" is a really beautiful example of these capable offshore cruisers. Carefully used and well maintained to the highest standard. The practical layout offers good storage plus great comfort both at sea and in the marina. As you would expect from a German Frers design, they have good performance and are easily sailed shorthanded. She is an exceptional example of this rare model which needs to be inspected to be appreciated.

Comments

The Hallberg-Rassy 39 provides excellent comfort with two sleeping cabins, a spacious saloon featuring a seagoing u shaped galley, good navigation centre and a well lit and spacious toilet compartment. The aft owners cabin has two separate beds with a central seat. The light mahogany interior woodwork coupled with exquisite craftmanship imparts a wonderful ambiance down below.

They feature remarkable attributes including a well protected cockpit with fixed windscreen, ample storage space throughout, large fuel and water tanks and a hull design that ensures a comfortable motion at sea. Truly an ideal blue water cruiser.
