Chantey was featured in a Cruising World article, and lives up to Hallberg-Rassy's reputation for building sturdy Swedish cruisers for the rigors of the North Atlantic. Its overbuilt '70s solid fiberglass hull provides the foundation for a thoroughly refitted and comfortable boat that will outshine boats 25 years younger in any harbor. Her shoal draft is especially well-suited for the Chesapeake, the Keys, and the Bahamas. She's a terrific sailor in a breeze, and a powerhouse motor-sailor, when you need to get home in any weather in safety. Upgraded by a previous owner of three Rasmus 35s, and finished by the current owner, who has added radar, chartplotter, and other upgrades, the boat is ready to cruise anywhere. A hard dodger and full canvas center cockpit enclosure make this boat a three-season sailor's dream. Chantey is as well-equipped as any Hallberg-Rassy 35 currently on the market, and looks as good as most boats a fraction of her age. The current owner must sell due to reasons of health after only a few months of ownership. Don't pass up this opportunity to own one of the great "classic plastic" boats of our era.
