World Premiere for the Hallberg-Rassy 55 in Düsseldorf 19-27 January 2013
The new Hallberg-Rassy 55 has been test sailed this winter and will premiere at the world’s largest boatshow, boot Düsseldorf in Germany 19-27 January 2013.
The new 55 connects closely to the successful 64, with lots of natural light through large tempered glass portlights in the saloon, as well as four hull portlights and seven flush mounted skylight hatches, of which three are in the saloon alone. White painted wooden panels in the saloon alcoves further contribute to the spacious and inviting feel. Compared to the 54, the new 55 has as much as 30 cm longer cockpit. The helmsman’s position is slightly elevated like on the 64.
The superstructure of the 55 is lower in the forward end compared to the 54 and more elegant. As on the 64, there is no garage necessary for the sliding hatch. The top part of the side panel of the windscreen is slightly curved, as on the new 412. The steering pedestal allows space for an integrated 14 inch plotter. Apart from all the comfortable push-button operation you are already used to on a Hallberg-Rassy, the 55 is offered with both bow- and stern thrusters as well as backwinding genoa sheet winches. The whole boat is laid out for great comfort and is designed to be handeled by a small crew. She has a very bright and inviting interior.
