Hallberg-Rassy 342

Developed from the very popular Hallberg-Rassy 34, the German Frers-designed Hallberg-Rassy 342 took all the great attributes of the popular 34 and improved upon them where possible. It stretched the lines slightly to maximise the use of the hull volume, creating a brighter and more spacious interior living space. The rig was also stretched and tweaked to improve performance while making the boat easier for a small crew to handle in all conditions.

Hull number 4 of the Hallberg-Rassy 342’s AMAZING GRACE featured on the UK importers' Southampton Boatshow stand for the 2005 and 2006 shows. Based in Scotland since 2007 she has been with her current owner since 2008. A treasured and very lightly used example she has logged less than 5,500 nautical miles. Fastidiously maintained, she is in exceptional condition for her age. Now reluctantly offered for sale as her owner looks to retire from sailing. Her extensive inventory highlights include:
