We are delighted to bring to market this magnificent Hallberg-Rassy 54, proactively maintained and ready to put to sea immediately.For sale by her second owner ARTEMIS has been prepared for any adventure by her current owner with huge investment in recent years. She has never realised her true potential as a live aboard, world beating cruising boat and as such is remarkably well preserved. This German Frer design has the desirable cutter rig with complete push button controls at the helm. The Hallberg-Rassy hard top provides complete protection for the cockpit and is complimented by a wonderful cockpit cover, designed and fabricated by Elite Canvas to provide versatile protection from any weather.ARTEMIS will certainly draw attention on the water with black EPEX sails and close wind hull speeds of around 8kts.We are very impressed with the owners approach to proactive maintenance and the attention given to mitigating failures at sea and adding redundancy where sensible. The conversion to conventional switching is a particularly interesting upgrade, part of a wider overhaul of the electrical systems on board. Reliable Victron Energy products have been used throughout with charging via solar, GenSet or the main engine.Although ready and willing, ARTEMIS will sadly not be cruising far with her current owner and the decision has been made to find a new owner and keeper for this remarkable lady. Lying ashore near Ipswich, please contact us to arrange your viewing.ARTEMIS currently enjoys VAT paid status in both the EU and the UK.
