This Hallberg-Rassy 43 MK I, Lilia, is a very fine example of a meticulous maintained and well-built bluewater cruiser thoughtfully designed and well equipped for long-distance sailing. Lilia is no racer, but she offers great performance and is remarkably easy to handle short-handed, even in demanding conditions, thanks to her electric-hydraulic in-mast furling mainsail, electric-hydraulic furling genoa, hydraulic backstay, spinnaker gear, and electric winches—all with controls centralized in the secure and well-protected center cockpit with solid windscreen. Her teak-laid decks remain in excellent condition and reflect the care she’s received over the years. She is furthermore equipped with a 55hp diesel engine, bow thruster, folding propeller, inverter, solar panels, Raymarine navigation pack including radar, water maker, dinghy with outboard, bimini, sprayhood, etc. Also worth mentioning is the generous fuel and water tankage which is quite handy when you’re longer at sea.
Hallberg-Rassy yachts are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, and Lilia is no exception. The interior is finished in a light mahogany with a matt silk finish, complemented by a classic teak-and-holly cabin sole. She features a spacious owner’s cabin aft with ensuite head and separate shower, a forward guest cabin with V-berths, a second bathroom with shower, a large saloon with settees and central table, a practical C-shaped galley, and a large navigation station. Comfort onboard is enhanced by a Webasto diesel heating system with outlets throughout the interior. While ventilation and light flow through the numerous hatches and opening ports.
