2000 Hallberg-Rassy 53

Designed by Germán Frers, this HR53 "Arielle" combines modern styling and a performance hull but still retains that timeless elegance that is the hallmark of the range, while down below it provides the space and comfort of a luxury floating home. Her moderate displacement is in line with the yacht's strong construction and high level of equipment carried on board. The layout is designed to allow unimpeded access from bow to stern, in a smooth line with no obstructions.
The HR 53 is not only a comfortable and well built long distance cruiser, she performs well with a generous sail area and excellent stability gained from the 53´s special bulb keel, even in light winds. "Arielle" has been under the care of a very knowledgeable and experienced couple since 2013. They have travelled the east coast of US from Maine to Florida Keys. They made several trips to Bermuda and completed a passage from Hampton VA to Antigua in 2019. After cruising the Caribbean Islands, BVIs, USVI, and Bahamas, they are currently in Galveston, Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. She is set up as a comfortable, safe, and purposeful long passage maker for a couple.
