Halberg Rassy HR40 (2009)
The HR40 is a 40 foot sloop rigged monohull built by Halberg-Rassy in Sweden. It has a single extrusion aluminum mast, with non continuous uppers and intermediates. Many offered an inner forestay, however this one was built without, and is being installed aftermarket.
Spar
The mast is a selden aluminum extrusion, about 54’1” from heel to masthead. It is deck stepped on an aluminum step atop the cabin. This particular mast was in mast furling, and a triple spreader rig.
Standing Rig
All standing rigging is 1x19 stainless steel wire. All measurements unless noted otherwise are pin to pin. The rig is discontinuous, and portions have been named as in this diagram.
Forestay: 10mm wire, 54 feet long. Lower fitting typically is a stalok into the selden furler drum. Upper marine eye 5/8 pin
This rig came with an insulated backstay, and Selden mechanical backstay adjuster. The total length with the isolators is approximately 46’ 8”, and the adjuster is 30” at maximum throw.
Backstay 3 (top): 8mm wire, 7' 1" length. Upper fitting: marine eye 14mm pin. Lower fitting: welded fork with 5/8 pin (we measured 0.620)
Backstay 2 (insulated portion): 8mm wire, 39' 8.5" length. Upper fitting: welded fork with 5/8 pin. Lower fitting: welded fork with 5/8 pin
Backstay 1 (bottom): 8mm wire, 7'1" length. Upper fitting: welded fork with 5/8 pin. Lower fitting: marine eye 14mm pin
The discontinuous shrouds and the intermediates pin to the spreader tips with a 14mm pin
D4/V3: 10mm wire, 23' 7 5/8" length. Both ends marine eye, 14mm pin
V2: 10mm wire, 13' 4" length. Upper fitting: welded fork for 14mm pin, Lower fitting: marine eye 14mm pin
V1: 10mm wire, 13' 5 1/2" length. Upper fitting: welded fork for 14mm pin, Lower fitting: marine eye 5/8 pin
V1 connects to the deck with 1 turnbuckle per side, with welded fork fittings on either end, upper with a 5/8 pin, lower with a 3/4” pin
Both Intermediates attach to link plates that pin to the spreader tip along with the shroud segments.
Intermediate 1: 6mm wire, 10' 8" length measured from T bearing surface to center of bottom pin, Upper fitting: Selden # 6 T terminal, Lower fitting: swage stud and turnbuckle with welded fork. 3/8” pin
Intermediate 2: 7mm wire, 12' 3" length from T bearing surface to center of bottom pin, Upper fitting: Selden #7 T terminal, Lower fitting: swage stud and turnbuckle with fork, 7/16 pin
Forward Lower: 10mm wire, 13', Upper fitting: marine eye 14mm pin, Lower fitting: marine eye 5/8 pin
Aft Lower: 10mm wire, 13', Upper fitting: marine eye 14mm pin, Lower fitting: marine eye 5/8 pin
