The Hallberg-Rassy 42F Mk II, crafted by renowned designer Germán Frers, is celebrated as an exceptional bluewater cruiser for its robust construction, comfortable layout, and exceptional sailing performance. Built between 1994 and 2001, a total of 181 hulls were produced, establishing it as a trusted model for long-distance cruising. Sailors praise its seaworthiness and resilience, with Cruising World noting its "steady helm and balanced rig" as ideal for offshore adventures. Its spacious cockpit, ample storage, and thoughtful design make it a favorite among seasoned bluewater sailors.
Rachel Ann has clearly been lovingly maintained, presenting herself in remarkable condition for a Hallberg-Rassy 42F MKII. Her care history speaks to this: her first five years were spent in fresh water with indoor winter storage, ensuring a gentle start to her life. From 2005, she was based in the Chesapeake Bay with her second owner, where she primarily enjoyed calm local sails and wintered on the hard. Since 2022, her current owner has continued this gentle treatment, using her sparingly yet faithfully. A true gem for anyone seeking a well-kept classic Hallberg-Rassy.
Rachel Ann is thoughtfully outfitted for easy, shorthanded sailing, complete with in-mast furling, a bow thruster, and Hallberg-Rassy’s signature comforts like air conditioning and easy chairs. Her 6' 7" draft provides exceptional performance and stability, making her well-suited for bluewater cruising and offshore adventures. This cherished Hallberg-Rassy 42F offers a rare blend of comfort, capability, and careful preservation—ready to deliver countless memorable voyages.

Navigation Station
The forward-facing nav station is conveniently located behind the port-side settee and offers a spacious desk with a large tabletop and generous compartment underneath. Four drawers and a storage cabinet are located on the exterior side of the desk, with additional compartments under the seat and desk. A lid-top storage compartment to the left of the desk is perfect for navigation books and files. Above the desk, the navigation instruments can be mounted on a panel. Behind the chair, you'll find a top-loading freezer, as well as a large tabletop ideal for chart work. A two-shelf cabinet behind the seat provides extra storage for navigation materials.

Hallberg-Rassy yachts are designed with safety and ease of maintenance foremost in mind. Nothing exemplifies this more than the engine room. This is a very spacious engine room which is accessed by two large, insulated and rubber-sealed doors. This provides far superior access to the main engine, as well as to all auxiliary equipment, including the pressure water system equipment and hot water tank, than that afforded on most other cruising yachts of this size.
