Description
The Hallberg-Rassy 36, produced from 1989 to 2003, stands as an enduring icon in the world of bluewater cruising. With 602 units built, Vivace is hull number 551 . Designed by the renowned naval architect Germán Frers, this yacht delivers outstanding performance within its class, with thoughtful hull parameters and moderate sections contributing to a smooth motion at sea—qualities typically associated with much larger vessels.
The HR 36 proudly carries European CE Certification Category A (Unlimited Ocean Voyages) and was built under the rigorous standards of Germanischer Lloyd certification, affirming its seaworthiness and durability. This model has proven itself time and again, achieving victories in its class during the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) and excelling in local racing events, a testament to its versatility and capability.
The Hallberg-Rassy 36 is celebrated not only for its performance but also for its comfort and design. Boasting an efficient, seaworthy layout, this 37-foot performance cruiser offers exceptional interior space, stability, and ease of handling. Its precise engineering and construction, executed by skilled Swedish craftsmen, reflect the timeless charm and reliability synonymous with the Hallberg-Rassy name.
Designed to handle both shallow waters and ambitious ocean crossings, the HR 36 is equally suited for leisurely coastal cruises, Caribbean voyages, or transoceanic adventures. Its ability to combine safety, dryness, speed, and aesthetic appeal makes it a cherished choice among discerning sailors and ensures that its value endures over time.
The Hallberg-Rassy 36 remains one of the longest-running and most successful production models in the realm of bluewater cruisers—an extraordinary testament to its enduring design and the trust placed in it by sailors worldwide.
Accommodations
The interior of the Hallberg-Rassy 36 is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, featuring book-matched mahogany finished with a smooth silk two-part varnish. A solid mahogany mast compression post is integrated into the main bulkhead, effectively preventing water from leaking into the interior via the mast. The flooring is a classic teak and holly sole with a matte varnished finish, contributing to the yacht's timeless aesthetic. With 6'4" headroom in the saloon, the space feels open and comfortable. Notably, all areas of the boat, including the bilges, are finished for storage, maximizing practicality and utility.
Storage is abundant and well-thought-out, with easily accessible compartments under the berths and settees, ideal for stowing large items like sail bags. Larger cupboard doors are louvered to enhance ventilation throughout the interior. Additional storage is available behind the backrests of settees and berths, while the hull's interior is lined with mahogany battens to promote airflow and prevent moisture buildup. The hull's divinyl cell layup provides excellent insulation against heat and cold, ensuring comfort in a variety of climates.
The head compartment is equipped with a china wash basin, a shower with a teak grating, an overboard electric sump pump, an opening hatch, a port, and a ventilator. Opposite the head compartment in the companionway is a hanging locker, adding to the yacht's thoughtfully designed storage options.
The forward "V" cabin is bright and spacious, offering 6'6" berths with an inset for additional flexibility. The aft cabin is equally well-appointed, featuring a large opening hatch and ports, a wide double berth to starboard, and a comfortable sea berth to port. Hanging lockers are located in both the aft cabin and the walk-through to the saloon, providing ample room for clothing and gear.
Convenience and functionality are key in the design of the nav station, engine room, and instrument panels, which are strategically grouped to form a natural and efficient operational unit. This careful arrangement, coupled with the yacht's superior craftsmanship, ensures the Hallberg-Rassy 36 is as practical as it is beautiful, making it a cherished vessel for any discerning sailor.

Hull, Deck and Safety
The hull is produced by the Hallberg-Rassy owned MarinPlast factory in Kungshamn, Sweden. Special attention is given to the hull to deck joint being heavily glassed over making a unitized hull. All mechanicals, electrical equipment, tanks, and furnishings are carried down the companionway when being installed rather than installed prior to the fiberglass deck lid being bonded solid to the hull with fiberglass. This assures accessibility for any future needed replacements in her lifetime. The hull is hand laid in reinforced solid fiberglass with isopthalic resins below the waterline transitioning above the waterline to a sandwich isophtalic fibreglass construction layup insulated with resin impregnated divinylcell coring to protect against heat and cold. Hull is lined with scantlings and finished with mahogany battens thereby providing full flow-thru ventilation to keep the boat fresh, dry, and mildew free. The result is a high-quality hull with beautiful lines and finish that is insulated against heat and cold.
Deck- The cleanly designed decks are overlaid with the highest quality Burmese teak for maximum footing under any sea condition.
