Further Description:
Award winning around the world
The HR 40 was presented with an alternative classic layout at the Open House weekend in Ellös in August 2005.
The new interior offers a wider saloon and headroom in the walk through to the aft cabin. The toilet room forward of the saloon has a separate shower.
Floor is in one level throughout the boat and the galley is seagoing. The mast support comes in direct conjunction with the main bulkhead.

The HR 40 has won no less than four attractive awards:
- In January 2003 she was presented European Yacht of the Year in the largest category
- Overall winner in Boat of the Year in USA 2004
- Best Liveaboard cruising boat in USA 2004
- Sailboat of the Show in Stockholm November 2002

The Sailboat of the Show jury says:
“The Hallberg-Rassy 40 is a long distance cruiser of highest quality from the Swedish island Orust. The boat is the result of the yard’s long experience in boatbuilding.
This has in the Hallberg-Rassy 40 been further developed to a discrete elegance. Without looking at trends, this is a modern yacht built to highest standards in respect of equipment and comfort.”

Frers latest know how in for example hull, rudder and keel design, with considerable longer waterline.
A touch lower freeboard and just a bit higher superstructure, to get greater window area thus a better view.
Flush mounted skylights in forward and aft cabins.
New contemporary interior design, as in the Hallberg-Rassy 43, with mahogany locker doors with elegantly milled edges and ventilation on top.
22 cm / 9'' better headroom in the walk through to the aft cabin.
The aft section has considerably more volume, which means a more airy aft cabin and, for those who like, the possibility to fit a centre island berth, with seats on either side.
Separate shower stall with plexi glass doors. Wash basin in Corian.
Better seating comfort in the cockpit, thanks to anatomical angling of the backrest.
Easier step in to the cockpit due to a step that is also the base for the genoa sheet winches. This eliminates the footblocks and thus gives less friction when sheeting the genoa in.
Raymarine ST 60 Speed, Depth and Wind is now standard equipment.
Holding tank, to be emptied from deck or out to sea, is included as standard.
As an option, it is possible to fly an asymmetric spinnaker from the mast head, to a removable bow sprit.

Hull and Deck
Laminate construction of hull: isophtalic gelcoat and isophtalic polyester is used.
Hand lay-up method, insulated above water line with Divinycell PVC-foam against heat and cold. Integrated rubbing strake with brass strip.
Blue decorative band in gelcoat. Strong under floor reinforcements. Lead keel with reinforcement bolted on with thirteen S/S bolts. The rudder is carefully mounted for sensitive rudder feel.
Strong engine foundations of GRP for effective sound insulation. Deck and coachroof areas and also cockpit are of sandwich construction, solid in parts, laminated to the hull.

Engine and Engine Room
Engine Yanmar 4JH4E, 40 kW/54 HP 4 cylinder 2.2 Litres cylinder volume. Mounted with four rubber feet on strong foundations to avoid vibration and noise. Fixed 3 bladed propeller. Water-cooled rubber exhaust pipe. Freshwater cooled engine.
The hot freshwater circuit is led into a 40 L / 11 US gallon well insulated hot water tank. Due to the good insulation water remains hot for many hours after the engine has been run. The engine is served by a separate 60 Ah 12 V battery.
There is a large filter for cooling water. The bilge pump has been installed in a position where it can be cleaned even in extremely bad weather conditions. There is space for a Diesel generator.

Accommodation details
As standard the boat has two saloon sofas and two separate aft cabin berths. As an option at additional cost, there are two armchairs available in the saloon and, also optional at additional cost, a centre island berth in the aft cabin.
You may combine the saloon of your choice with the aft cabin of your choice, so that you in reality have four layouts to choose from. If armchairs or centre island berth is required, this must specifically be ordered and confirmed.
|
Forward Cabin
The forward cabin has been arranged in such a way to allow generous free movement for dressing and undressing. Two 2.12 m/6’11’’ long berths with ample stowage above and below and in addition a number of lockers. Hanging locker and vanity. Infill between the berths. Opening skylight with curtain under.
