The flagship Hallberg-Rassy 69
Some quotes from the Yachting World test:
”We averaged double figure speeds. With ease. The new model was going like a locomotive, wonderfully assured, powerfully clocking off mile after mile, and offering a transcendent helming experience. The Hallberg-Rassy 69 has that power, that magnetic magnificence.
This is one easily driven machine.
To put the Hallberg-Rassy 69’s size into perspective, it carries the weight of an average 55ft production yacht in its keel ballast alone. The result is that it maintains a consistent, modest and manageable angle of heel and has the length and weight to devour miles, particularly when reaching.
There is an elegance and grace to the yacht’s motion. There’s no rush, nothing twitchy, but when it has the breeze to reach its double digit hull speed, it can and will stay there and maintain that speed all day and night. And if things get a bit spicy, reducing sail is a push-button away. “It’s still about the joy of sailing,” says Magnus – “it’s just the heavy work that has gone.”
The shipwrights’ skills and attention to detail are evident everywhere you look.
This is a sensational cruising machine of formidable build quality, blessed with intoxicating, powerful lines, prize engineering, rich carpentry, and premium finish quality.”
