The Hallberg-Rassy 372 is an aft-cockpit coastal sailor with ocean going capabilities. The yacht breathes graceful elegance.
The aft cockpit is generous and the leather covered steering is a large 132 cm. The steering is directly linked, for a precise sailing experience. Halyards are hidden under the coach roof and are handled by two winches on the cockpit coaming, not on the exterior chart tables. This solution makes it possible to achieve Hallberg-Rassy typical Push Button Sailing with optional electric halyard and control winches, without disturbing the interior, even with a traditional non-furling mainsail. There are two big exterior chart tables in teak. It goes without saying that the cockpit is well protected by a windscreen that melts perfectly into the lines of the yacht.
There are 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.
Bright and inviting interior

Below deck the interior is roomy and bright. There are two deck hatches in the saloon. All side port lights are opening and the same large size as on the HR 54. 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. There is a seat, two hanging lockers and two vanities in the forward cabin. The aft cabin also has a comfortable and unusually wide double berth.
Press Clips
Europe’s largest sailing magazine, Yacht from Germany, has tested the Hallberg-Rassy 372 in issue 2 / 2009 and says:”In light airs it is obvious how easy and responsive it is to steer her. In strong winds the 372 shows her true sporty spirit“
“It has always been so that it goes without saying that a Hallberg-Rassy has many fine details. That’s the case also with this new model”
“The interior woodwork shines with a high quality level and lots of comfort“
“Although there are so many new fresh ideas in this new 372, there is no doubt that this is a true Hallberg-Rassy with all the attributes and advantages who have created the world-wide acclaimed Hallberg-Rassy image that has grown so strong throughout the years.”
"All in all the 372 is maybe the most pretty and exciting yacht from Ellos"
The Norwegian yacht magazine “Seilas” features a test of the Hallberg-Rassy 372 in their 2/2009 issue, and says:
“The Hallberg-Rassy 372 sails so well that many people will have to revise their view of the well-known Swedish sailboat brand. The sailing performance is impressive.
Hallberg-Rassy 372 has it all: a large galley, a great saloon, a grand forward cabin, large chart table and a decent head. All the portholes can be opened and large skylights let lots of light in and gives airiness under deck. The interior is filled with smart and practical details, so well known to the Hallberg-Rassy concept. The boat is built to live on. There is plenty of storage room and every available space is being used.
Hallberg-Rassy 372 is a fast and fun sailing boat, without sacrificing all the live-aboard comforts.”
Improvements for 2011
- The teak deck is now vacuum glued, without screws. This means there is more teak to wear off, and consequently you get an extended service life. This has already been the case on Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk II and larger. - Tackle for backstay adjuster. A tackle is both faster to get tension into and also to release tension, compared to using a winch handle which was the case until now. - When reefing compensator is ordered, that is now upgraded to a better system “E-Flex”. E-Flex has the following advantages compared to the previous E-Foam: E-Flex does not compress under pressure as foam can. E-Flex has less friction when furling the first turns. There is no risk for moisture in the tape below the foam, simply because there is no foam. The E-Flex system consists of polypropylene lines laid into a polyester coat. - The alcoves in the saloon now have white wooden battens, as already seen on the Hallberg-Rassy 310. |
