The Hallberg-Rassy 64 is a German Frers-designed masthead sloop built by Hallberg-Rassy from 2011 to 2018, featuring a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull. With an LOA of 19.9 meters, a beam of 5.2 meters, and a displacement of 35,999 kg, the 64 is a large cruising yacht. The Hallberg-Rassy 69, a larger model, demonstrates the shipyard's shift to 70% technical systems, incorporating vacuum-infused laminates, waterborne heating, air conditioning, and hydraulic winches.1:25 The 69-footer requires 20,000 labor hours to build, double that of a 50-foot vessel, and features high-gloss woodwork with 12 layers of lacquer.1:53 Its layout includes eight berths, four heads, three showers, and dedicated office spaces with CAN bus control systems, powered by a large battery bank and extensive solar arrays.8:26 The Hallberg-Rassy 69, the largest vessel tested by SEILmagasinet, completed a 100-nautical-mile passage from Norway to Skagen, Denmark, maintaining 9 to 10 knots in 11 m/s winds using push-button sail handling.0:44 It features a stern garage for a 3.4-meter tender, dual autopilots, and a watertight bulkhead.11:27
