Ready and capable – this well-equipped Hallberg Rassy 46 will take you there
Present Moment
Hallberg Rassy 46
2002 • $565,000
the south pacific beckons and to those who hear its call, Present Moment offers a fi rst class and ready means of voyaging there and beyond safely and comfortably. Present Moment is a great example of the Hallberg-Rassy 46, the best
production cruising sailboat for exploring the world’s oceans. Present Moment was delivered new to her owner in Seattle in 2002.
In April of 2002, I was part of a crew of six that sailed Present Moment from Seattle to San Francisco, where her owner lives. For timing reasons, we were unable to wait for an ideal weather window. Of the six days on passage, we spent two days beating into gale force winds off the Oregon and Washington coasts. The boat had a very nice motion in the seaway, never slamming or pounding. We were able to make respectable progress to weather with a deeply reefed mainsail and staysail sheeted in hard. The boat proved amazingly comfortable for six of us offshore. With her proper seagoing galley, easy chairs, excellent sea berths and usable heads, we were all able to eat, sleep and relax while underway. In 2007 she spent the winter in Mexico. In 2009 the owner completed a
long planned voyage by sailing from San Diego to Australia via the South Pacifi c Islands. Last fall she was shipped via Dockwise Yacht Transport from Australia to Ensenada and returned up the coast to Oakland. Present Moment performed fl awlessly during her ocean voyage. Recently, as I inspected lockers of well organized and selected spare parts, safety equipment, and other gear I was impressed with the time and effort that had gone into preparing this boat for blue water cruising. To someone considering a new boat vs. a properly outfi tted, tested, and ready to go used boat, I would say, “Choose the ready to go boat. It’s diffi cult to comprehend the amount of time and money it takes to fully outfi t a cruising boat with spare parts, safety gear, sun shades, toys, communications gear, stowage containers, etc.”
