About
For sale is a **Hallberg-Rassy 34 Scandinavia**, built in 1991, first launched in 1992, hull number 11. A classic, high-quality Swedish yacht from a family-owned fleet, built for safe, comfortable, and yet surprisingly lively sailing.
The HR 34 holds a special place among the Hallberg-Rassy models. It combines the typical HR standards of safety, craftsmanship, and long-distance cruising quality with sailing performance that is exceptionally good for this shipyard. Designed by Germán Frers, she is balanced, rigid, and stable under sail, and remarkably fast for a comfortable cruising yacht. Hallberg-Rassy itself describes the HR 34 as a yacht with performance that’s hard to beat; this is due to its modern underwater hull, efficient keel and rudder layout, and balanced fractional rig.
This yacht is not just another anonymous, glossy showpiece, but an authentic HR with history, features, and substance. It was purchased in 2005 through an official Hallberg-Rassy dealer and has since been used exclusively by the owner and his family for private purposes. It has never been chartered or loaned out. The sale is due to the owner’s retirement from water sports. The boat is offered with a comprehensive accessory package—everything you need: spare parts, care products, ropes, fenders, tools, and much more are available for purchase.
The special appeal of this boat is that you’re not starting from scratch. Important technical issues have already been addressed: The engine was completely overhauled by a specialist company at a cost of approximately 13,000 €. Since then, it has logged fewer than 100 operating hours. The rudder bearing was overhauled by a specialized Swedish shipyard, at a cost of approximately 5,000 €. In addition, a large inspection hatch was retrofitted into the diesel tank. These are the kinds of jobs that, on older yachts, are often expensive, unpleasant, and frequently put off—until reality comes knocking in the form of a bill. Here, they’ve been taken care of.
At the same time, there’s still room for personal touches. The teak deck should be refinished in the medium term; work has already begun on it in the cockpit. The refrigerator is broken, and the compressor needs to be replaced. Cosmetic work and teak deck repairs should therefore be factored into your plans, but they can be tackled gradually. This is precisely what makes this HR 34 appealing to buyers who are looking for a high-quality cruising yacht, want to start sailing right away, and don’t make a big deal out of cosmetic issues. After all, a boat is meant to work, sail, and be lived on—not just pretend in photos that it’s never seen saltwater.
Sailing Performance
The HR 34 is not a cumbersome traditional cruiser, but a modern, medium-displacement cruiser with excellent all-around capabilities. The ballast ratio of around 40% ensures high stability and a secure feeling in stronger winds. At the same time, the Frers design—with its efficient keel, free-standing rudder, and well-balanced waterline length—offers a significantly sportier side than many would expect from a Hallberg-Rassy.
Thanks to the well-thought-out deck layout, the yacht can be handled easily even by a small crew or single-handed. The line routing, wheel steering, autopilot mounted directly on the steering quadrant, and modern integration of NMEA 2000 and Seatalk NG make it a boat that not only looks solid but also functions practically.
Features
The yacht features the coveted **Scandinavia package** with a teak deck and heating. On board are a battened mainsail, a furling genoa, a complete spinnaker setup, blisters, a storm jib, lazy jacks, and an improved mainsail retrieval system with ball-bearing mast sliders. In addition, there are various anchors, a stern anchor, a skerry anchor, a lock hook, bow ladders, fenders, and mooring lines.
Navigation and technical equipment include wheel steering, an autopilot mounted directly on the helm quadrant, radio remote controls for the autopilot, ST50 instruments, radar, a radio system at the navigation station and in the cockpit, as well as two Lowrance chartplotters at the navigation station and on the steering column. The electronics have been upgraded to NMEA 2000 and Seatalk NG.
Comfort on board is ensured by, among other things, heating, a holding tank, a swim platform with a retractable ladder, new salon upholstery, new curtains, new carpet from the original HR supplier, and a headroom of approximately 1.86 m.
Known Issues
The refrigerator is defective; the compressor needs to be replaced. The teak deck should be refinished in the medium term; work has already begun in the cockpit. Cosmetic work should also be planned for. These issues are factored into the pricing.
Summary
This Hallberg-Rassy 34 Scandinavia is of interest to buyers seeking a high-quality, seagoing, and exceptionally well-sailing HR without having to pay the price of a fully restored yacht. The major technical investments have already been made, the equipment is extensive, the usage history is well-documented, and the remaining work is clearly outlined.
A yacht for someone who doesn’t just want to dream of owning their own boat, but wants to get started right away: sailing, traveling, improving, owning. In exactly that order—which sounds almost suspiciously sensible for the yacht market.
