Hull Construction The hull is constructed of hand laid woven roving with isophtalic polyester resin and gelcoat with Divinycell PVC foam core above the waterline to provide both sound and environmental insulation. Solid laminate below the waterline. A rubbing strake with stainless steel strip runs the length of the hull. Longitudinal and athwartship stiffeners bonded to the bilges to evenly distribute the load of the mast and keel. Provides a strong superstructure grid for the external lead keel with 24,250 lbs ballast which is secured with 14 M36 stainless steel keel bolts which are easily accessible and visible from the deep bilge. The GRP, semi-balanced rudder with 100 mm stainless steel shaft and three cast bronze bearings incorporates a Cardan link steering system. All major machinery was installed after the joining of the deck to ensure, if needed in the future, all components could be removed. The Hallberg-Rassy 62 was constructed to conform with Germanischer Lloyd Category A Unlimited Ocean Voyage requirements, certificate number 24934 |
Deck The Hallberg-Rassy 62 has a GRP sandwich constructed deck with Divinycell PVC foam core for strength and insulation. The hull and deck are bonded with overlapping GRP-laminate, a proven design which is superior in strength and ability to prevent water incursion. New Lewmar deckhatches and portholes were added in 2016. The stemhead is fitted with dual bow rollers and a pushpit made of 30 mm stainless steel. Double stainless steel non-coated lifelines are secured by sturdy deck mounted through the caprail but do not penetrate the underside, therefore eliminating the possibility of allowing water intrusion through the deck. Port and starboard boarding gates and a large transom gate allow for easy boarding and loading. Two 16" mooring cleats fore and aft and 12" cleats mid-ship. 14 mm Slow growth teak decks are glued in place and in excellent condition. The large forward chain locker with overboard drain keep the weight of the chain low in the bow and has storage for up to five large fenders and deck equipment. The full beam lazarette has both port and starboard access and is cavernous in size!
Cockpit The cockpit of the Hallberg-Rassy 62 is spacious and well protected with self bailing scuppers and teak grated cockpit floor and teak seats. Large three pane safety glass windscreen with opening center and alloy frames, soft dodger, full length bimini, and spray hood. BIZ is a top-of-the-range blue water boat that is easy to manage from behind the helm with push-button controls for the windlass and for setting and sheeting the sails, and foot switches for the bow thruster. She's truly a world cruiser that's family friendly.

Mast & Rigging The Hallberg-Rassy 62 features a 3 spreader deck stepped Selden mast with hydraulic in-mast, genoa, and staysail furling as well as a hydraulic boom vang and backstay. This world-class cruiser was designed to have an easy to manage sail plan perfect for short handed sailing. The deck stepped mast is supported on a solid mast support integrated with the main bulkhead. The hydraulic system is easily managed from the cockpit with push button controls and panel at the helm. BIZ had her hydraulic lines replaced in 2016, a full inspection of her Navtec rod rigging and turnbuckles was completed by Selden, and her mast and boom, removed, all fittings and fixtures replaced, and the rig repainted. A new carbon fiber, mast mounted spinnaker pole was added in 2016. All running rigging is new and a carbon fiber wrap was added to the vang and backstay piston.
