Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35

The Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35 is a 10.5-meter masthead sloop designed by Olle Enderlein and built by Hallberg-Rassy from 1967 to 1978, known for its long keel and offshore liveaboard suitability.1:33 The first two boats had mahogany hulls, while subsequent models were GRP. Aboard *Santana*, a 1978 Hallberg-Rassy Rasmus 35, the long keel provides directional stability and structural protection, and its 1.3-meter draft allows access to shallow anchorages.1:33 The deep center cockpit offers protection from spray and wind, and a 45% ballast-to-displacement ratio contributes to stability.20:26 The vessel displaces 5488 kg, with 2.5 tons of ballast, and has a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 15.1:52 Its 39-horsepower Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, installed in 2012, provides propulsion and hot water.12:05 Electrical systems include 300 amp-hours of AGM batteries, 400 watts of solar, and a 2-kilowatt inverter.11:08 The boat carries 430 liters of water and 270 liters of diesel. The original thick teak deck is screwed into a closed-cell foam core.6:40 The small rudder, a consequence of the shallow draft, makes low-speed maneuvering difficult.7:32 The interior, with a side-galley and small salon, is considered cramped for two people and two dogs.5:34
