40' Hallberg Rassy HR39 Mk2

Are you looking for a self-sufficient, high performance, comfortable, quality built sailboat? Heres a Rare Opportunity - 1996 Hallberg Rassy 39 Mark 2 For Sale

Persephone has been our home since 2015 and has been maintained and constantly updated to keep her in Turn Key Condition. We have cruised 5,000 miles per year every year along the east coast and Caribbean delighting with Frers pedigree performance.
Designed by German Frers, the HR 39 Mark 2 is a great sailing, tough, go anywhere bluewater boat, certified Category A for unlimited Ocean and Lloyd's Register certification for quality assurance. Hallberg-Rassy built 209 of the 39s, between 1991 and 2003, this being hull #90. There are many good reasons they sold so many, including her interior layout, which is very well thought out. The HR 39 offers two generous double cabins and a large head compartment, a seagoing galley and a salon that is spacious and comfortable. She has a real sit down forward facing nav station, the salon is very open and light and the galley works well at sea or at anchor. The HR39 offers a great amount of storage which makes it possible to stay out for extended periods of time.

Persephone is available to view by appointment. Current owners are balancing living-aboard while listing the boat and making plans for the next "life chapter" after almost 30 years of living aboard and helping with care of elderly parents. I can send you a link for a google album with more pictures
