About the Hallberg-Rassy 40C Sailboat

The Hallberg-Rassy 40C is a modern cruising yacht designed by German Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy in Ellös, Sweden, in production since 2019. The "C" denotes center cockpit, giving the 40C a protected helm position and a spacious aft cabin — a configuration typically found on larger yachts. At nearly 43 feet LOA with a displacement of 24,251 pounds, she balances modern performance (fractional rig, twin rudders, bulb keel) with Hallberg-Rassy''s legendary build quality and the trademark windshield that defines the brand. The 40C has been praised as one of Swedish yard''s best designs, blending comfortable offshore cruising with surprisingly nimble handling for a center-cockpit layout.
