Hallberg-Rassy HR 42F MkII

After the HR51, which was the first model of their collaboration, in 1991 Germán Frers and Hallberg Rassy renewed the great workhorse that had been the HR 42 designed by Olle Enderlein. The new arrival, called the 42F by Frers, more than fulfilled its mission and opened up the Swedish shipyard to the Mediterranean markets of southern Europe, reluctant until then to give success to a range that seemed too much focused on ocean sailing, with constant winds. The truth is that Frers achieved with this model such a perfect balance between the Hallberg Rassy traditions (comfort, safety at all times, smoothness of movement, course stability) and the new demands for greater performance that many owners who moved on to later models still yearn for their "old" 42F. Between 1991 and 2001, 181 units were built, divided between the initial Mk I version (53 units) and the final Mk II (128 units). The main difference is a tramson stern without jupette and the one with the built-in jupette of the second version. Otherwise, there were no structural changes, demonstrating the success of the initial design and its virtues. The unit on offer had only three owners. The first, an elderly German, used it very sparingly. The second sailed her extensively crossing the Atlantic several times. Her present owner has used it mainly for pleasure cruising in the Mediterranean. The boat is in magnificent structural condition, with recent and technological sails, engine overhauled and cared for, complete and working set of electronics, rigging in order... Ready to sail. Only a few aesthetic details are missing to be absolutely perfect: thorough cleaning of the most hidden areas and polishing of the deck gel-coat. There is also the chance to keep the year long mooring berth in Port Mahón at a good rate.
