Used Hallberg-Rassy 49 Sailboats for Sale

The Hallberg-Rassy 49 stands as a definitive monument to the "Golden Age" of Swedish yacht building, serving as the company’s flagship from its introduction in 1982 until production ceased in 1997. Designed by Olle Enderlein in collaboration with Christoph Rassy, this model preceded the yard’s transition to Germán Frers designs, representing the ultimate evolution of the traditional, heavy-displacement bluewater cruiser. With 89 hulls launched, the 49 was engineered for high-latitude exploration and transoceanic passages, characterized by its signature flush deck, high freeboard, and the iconic fixed windscreen that has become a hallmark of the Hallberg-Rassy identity. Unlike modern performance-oriented cruisers, the 49 was built with a philosophy of "solidity at all costs," a trait that continues to make it a primary choice for circumnavigators seeking a secondary-market vessel capable of weathering extreme conditions.
