Meet Askja, a true classic from the world-renowned Swedish shipyard. As hull number 372 of the popular Hallberg-Rassy 26 series, Askja represents the essence of solid Scandinavian craftsmanship and timeless design by Olle Enderlein. Although she is one of the more compact models in the HR family, the HR 26 is legendary for offering a level of seaworthiness and interior volume that far exceeds her 26-foot stature.
Built in 1983, Askja is a yacht that inspires confidence. With her deep, protected cockpit and a stable long-fin keel, she is perfectly suited for everything from peaceful family cruises in coastal waters to more adventurous offshore passages. The model is famous for its directional stability and “big boat” feel, making her a favorite for solo sailors and couples who prioritize safety and build quality over sheer size.
Below deck, Askja features the signature Hallberg-Rassy warmth, characterized by exquisite mahogany joinery and a clever layout that provides four full-length berths. For the quality sailor, Askja is a prime example of why the HR 26 remains one of the most sought-after pocket cruisers on the secondary market.
