1. A proven ocean-going yacht
Are you looking for a capable yacht to cross oceans, explore the beautiful cruising grounds of Asia, or embark on your own long-distance sailing adventures?

We have owned this Hallberg-Rassy HR41 for 24 years, living aboard full-time and exploring the world with her.
This Hallberg-Rassy 41 has already completed approximately one and a half circumnavigations and has sailed across many oceans.
After those journeys, we sailed from Asia back into the Pacific, spent an extended period cruising there, and returned to Asia.
We are still living aboard and cruising with her.
This is a proven ocean-going yacht -- not simply a boat advertised as "suitable for bluewater cruising".

We are ready for a new challenge and we are looking for a new owner who will take care of her and enjoy the freedom she can offer. She can take you to some of the most beautiful places in the world.
Her solid construction, practical layout and numerous upgrades make her an interesting choice for sailors who want to explore the world rather than simply sail from marina to marina.
She is also a comfortable yacht in challenging weather conditions, with a saloon that remains remarkably quiet even when conditions outside become rough.
Located in Phuket, Thailand, she is ideally positioned for exploring Southeast Asia or preparing for longer voyages.
