This HR55 is your boat for Bluewater sailing, You won't find another more comfortable, safer and better equipped than this one. Owners comment: After we owned a smaller boat in we bought our dream boat the HR55 from the first owner in 2017 to do Bluewater sailing. We equipped and upgraded it over 3 years. In 2019 we sailed down to Lagos and stayed over the winter. We were going to continue in the spring of 2020 but when the pandemic came we decided to stay in the Marina of Lagos. We have been sailing around Portugal & Spain and thoroughly enjoyed it, but now age is starting to make its presence and the interest in longer sailings is being replaced by the grandchildren at home. We truly hope to find a new owner who understands and appreciates the boat's full potential.

To make life really easy there are both bow and stern thrusters, so it is made very easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces. A large cockpit table for comfort, and plenty of seats. The deck is well laid out and shows Hallberg-Rassy's signature windshield around the cockpit. Halyards are kept on the mast. This Hallberg-Rassy 55 is a true offshore cruising boat.

A Whisper Power generator of 10Kw completes this installation. Management Company’s comment We are honoured to have been taking care of this incredibly well maintained and up to modern standards Hallberg-Rassy 55, for the owners. Now that they have decided to have to let go we were asked to help them sell their boat. We got to know the boat very well over the last few years and it is very rare to see such a fully fitted Bluewater sailing yacht. The owner particularly made an enormous effort to install a top of the notch electrical system. The boat is full of extras and loads of spares. Without hesitation we can say it is ready to go! We have an office in the Marina of Lagos, just in front of the boat and are available to show and explain the boat to anyone seriously interested. We hope to hear from you, Dai & Augusto Best of Lusitania
