Hallberg-Rassy 42E

A Christoph Rassy and Olle Enderlein design with a 12.93 m hull. The 42E designation distinguishes it from the later 42F; the archive documents ketch and sloop rigs and different engines.

Sail plan, sail condition and actual loading affect behaviour. A single number cannot predict performance.

Comfort and behaviour at sea

The indicators below help compare proportions. Interpret them alongside hull shape, mass distribution, loading, condition and sailing conditions.

Ballast / displacement Ballast / displacement	—	Insufficient compatible data
SA/D SA/D	—	Insufficient compatible data
D/L D/L	276.86	Calculation & limits (displacement_lb / 2240) / (0.01 × LWL_ft)³ conventional-monohull-v1 A conventional indicator calculated from this configuration's published data. It is neither a safety certification nor a prediction of an individual boat's condition. Input sources are shown with the corresponding specifications.
Comfort Ratio Comfort Ratio	—	Insufficient compatible data
Capsize Screening Formula Capsize Screening Formula	1.69	Calculation & limits beam_ft / (displacement_lb / 64)^(1/3) conventional-monohull-v1 A conventional indicator calculated from this configuration's published data. It is neither a safety certification nor a prediction of an individual boat's condition. Input sources are shown with the corresponding specifications.
Theoretical hull speed Theoretical hull speed	7.86 kn	Calculation & limits 1.34 × √LWL_ft conventional-monohull-v1 Conventional approximation for displacement hulls, not a rigid limit or a guaranteed cruising speed. Input sources are shown with the corresponding specifications.

These calculations are not safety certificates. STIX and AVS require specific documentation; they are not estimated from these ratios.

The original engine may have been replaced. Power, propeller, transmission and conditions together determine real use; consumption and range are not inferred from power alone.
