Hallberg-Rassy 372 - modern sail plan

Below deck the interior is roomy and bright. There are two deck hatches in the saloon. The galley is big, U shaped and seagoing. The galley worktop is in PlexiCor, a solid composite stone material. Both sofas in the saloon are a full two metres long. The roomy head is equipped with a wet locker and has a separate shower with PlexiGlass doors. The forward cabin is extremely large and generous. The v berth is 210 cm long, 68 cm wide at the foot end and 202 cm in the aft end.

A clean deck layout
The are no less than five large deck hatches, all flush mounted so that the glass is in level with the coach roof. The opening deck hatches to the toilet room and the aft cabin are milk coloured, to allow light but no view into the cabin. The genoajib furler has an under deck mounted drum to get clean deck lines. Also the optional electric anchor windlass is mounted under deck. The distance between the windlass and the chain storage is essential for a self-stowing chain and this is achieved by the HR 372's special design and layout arrangement.

Design
The Hallberg-Rassy 372 is an aft-cockpit coastal sailor with ocean going capabilities. Compared to the Hallberg-Rassy 37, the 372 is only a few centimetres longer, is 5 cm wider and has a fuller transom. The canoe body is slightly shallower and the keel slightly deeper and lighter. The aft and mid sections of the hull are flatter and the bow section sharper. The sheer line is more pronounced. The yacht breathes graceful elegance.

Motorization and first impression
The engine is a generously sized 42kW/55HP with an estimated range under engine of 670 nautical miles at 2/3 gas, 6 knots, with the optional Gori propeller with overdrive. Already after the first tack it was clear: Hallberg-Rassy 372 sails like a dream! She is quick, stiff, easy to steer in all conditions. She moves gently in the water, always under control. It is great fun sailing her!

Modern sail plan
There is an option of self tacking jib. A powerful backstay tensioner is fitted as standard. The rig has triple swept-back spreaders, the top shrouds go out to near the toe rail and the lowers are positioned to the superstructure for easy passage on deck. An optional gennaker is flown between the masthead and a removable bowsprit. Frers’ speed prediction diagram indicates that the new Hallberg-Rassy 372 will even be faster than the HR 40.
