This new design from German Frers is not intended to replace the center-cockpit H-R 37 but to extend Hallberg-Rassy's line of aft cockpit models. The hull has a little more beam than earlier H-Rs, and because of judicious use of space, each part of the interior—saloon, galley, nav desk, head, staterooms—appears generously proportioned. The head is aft, where it's convenient for use at sea, and the galley looks a little larger than in some other boats of similar size.

On deck, the familiar windshield protects the forward end of the cockpit, but in a break from current convention there are no winches on the cabin trunk—control lines lead to coaming-mounted winches—and the mainsheet traveler is just forward of the wheel. The three sets of swept-back spreaders and the mainsail-driven sailplan also signal that H-R, known for its respect for traditional cruising concepts, is comfortable with contemporary design trends, though the keel retains the conservative proportions appropriate to a cruising boat.
