Designed with both the weekend sailor and coastal cruiser in mind, she offers an ideal balance of practicality, space, and sailing enjoyment.

Built with Catalina’s well-known solid fiberglass construction and thoughtful design, the MkII version benefits from refinements that enhance both onboard comfort and sailing efficiency.

The 57 delivers the best of the Hallberg-Rassy concept combined with the latest in design and development from Frers. Both living space, storage, performance and handling are clearly improved compared to the previous generation. She gives you fast, effortless and comfortable sailing at a new level. Order your 57 now. You get a fixed price and a fixed delivery time. Hallberg-Rassy has delivered every boat on time, a promise held on over 9,700 boats delivered.

The deck locker space is enormous on the Hallberg-Rassy 57. There is a huge deck locker cabin in front of the v cabin, an anchor locker with further space in front of that, a cockpit locker, a big aft deck locker and two further side aft deck lockers. All in all there is a huge 10 000 liters deck storage available.

The deck is clean and uncluttered. Forward of the mast the deck is flush. All deck hatches are flush mounted. There is a sun deck integrated into the aft cabin roof. The anchor winch is hidden below deck level. The jib furler is located under deck. Because of a design trick, there is no need for any garage for the sliding hatch. Instead, the curvature of the outer coach roof and the inner ceiling are different, allowing enough space for the sliding hatch to disappear. There are in total eight sturdy mooring cleats on the top of the teak toe rail, of which the spring cleats are double on each side. There is an option for a retractable gangway that folds into the big aft locker.

As tradition says, the cockpit of a Hallberg-Rassy is very well sheltered. The cockpit length is a generous 2.90 m. For the first time on a center cockpit Hallberg-Rassy, the boat is built with twin wheels. The design gives an easy passage through the cockpit and the possibility for a big and sturdy fixed cockpit table. The width and the volume of the boat makes it possible. The pedestal heads each have enough space for a good size modern chart plotter. The deep cockpit gives excellent protection. The helmsman position is slightly elevated, to offer both excellent view for the helmsman and good headroom below in the aft cabin and aft head.

The rudder arrangement, like the successful Hallberg-Rassy 44 and 340, has twin rudder blades. This provides an easily controlled boat during all sailing conditions, especially in rough weather. Each rudder has dual self-adjusting rudder bearings that provide an easy to steer rudder construction in all conditions. Because of the reduced rudder surface, compared to a single rudder solution, the rudder loads will also decrease which will increase the safety factor.

The huge bathing platform folds out at the push of a button. When closed, this gives a clean and good looking transom. This arrangement also allows for more deck locker space than with a traditional built in bathing platform.

There is an integral bowsprit that is laminated as part of the hull and deck, not put on afterwards. The design is so beautiful that it could almost be called art. The bowsprit also serves several practical purposes:

• Ideal and efficient tack point for a light wind sail
• Ideal for carrying an anchor for the electric windlass
• Ideal for a bow ladder, making it easy to get onboard the bow from a low dock

The whole yacht is set up for effortless sailing. We call it PushButtonSailing. There are means to handle this big yacht with minimum crew, such as hydraulic in-mast furling, optional hydraulic main outhaul, powered jib furler, powered winches, hydraulic backstay tensioner, optional hydraulic push button adjustment of the main and jib halyards, bow thruster, optional stern thruster with docking function, push button operated bathing platform and an optional retractable gangway.

The interior offers a spacious accommodation. The forward cabin and the starboard cabin are very big for the yacht size with lots of storage, elbow space and big generous bed sizes. The v cabin is so comfortable that it is big enough as a second owner’s cabin. It goes without saying that the whole interior is bright and inviting. The whole interior has a one level sole area, comfortable and safe both out at sea and in a marina. There is a dedicated wet locker directly in the entrance area. The aft cabin is wide, airy and with a comfort worthy a king. The seagoing galley has huge work top areas and allows for a Miele induction stove, a dishwasher, a micro wave oven and a second deep freezer. The interior joineries are offered in traditional mahogany, in bright European oak, or in teak. All in finished in clear varnish with horizontal grain.

Classic Performance Meets Timeless Design by Van de Stadt

Step aboard a true classic with pedigree. Designed in 1957 by legendary Dutch naval architect E.G. van de Stadt—one of the pioneers of modern lightweight offshore yacht design—the iconic Black Soo design delivers a rare combination of performance, simplicity, and enduring style.

Built locally at Church Point by respected boatbuilder Alec Mitchell, this is a standout example of this revolutionary design, blending classic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern upgrades.

Why the Van de Stadt BRIGHTWATER Stands Out

• Proven hard-chine hull design for speed and stability offshore
• Lightweight yet robust plywood construction
• A design born in the golden era of yacht innovation
• Exciting sailing performance with timeless appeal

Vessel Highlights

• Construction: ½-inch Bruynzeel marine plywood, Dynel sheathed
• Hull Form: Hard chine with angled stem and elegant cambered transom
• Keel: Cast iron ballast
• Displacement: Approx. 2,000 kg

Powering the boat is a near-new 17hp Sole diesel engine (shaft drive) with just 82 hours—recently serviced and running beautifully. Reliable, efficient, and ready to go.

Upgrades & Improvements

• Standing rigging replaced (2017)
• Hull professionally repainted (2021) in durable two-pack polyurethane
• It has a Raymarine ST 1000+ for comfortable cruising 
• These upgrades bring peace of mind while preserving the integrity and charm of the original design.

On Deck & Sailing Setup

• Aluminium mast and boom with stainless steel rigging
• Well-equipped sail wardrobe (approx. 6 years old), including:
• Battened mainsail with boom bag & lazy jacks
• #1, #2, #3 hank-on jibs

Interior & Accommodation

• Below deck, BRIGHTWATER offers a simple, open-plan layout with excellent natural light and ventilation—perfect for relaxed coastal cruising.
• Sleeps up to 4 people and has a functional galley with water and butane stove on a gimbal
• Clever cockpit infill creates a generous double berth under the stars, ideal for warm summer nights

BRIGHTWATER offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of sailing history; an engaging, lightweight performer that’s equally at home club racing, coastal cruising, or simply turning heads wherever she goes.

Contact DBY Boat Sales (02) 9999 3311 or email sales@dbyboatsales.com.au  today to arrange your inspection—this is a yacht that truly needs to be experienced.

Location, Location, location....start in the heart of the Mediterranean sailing ground, GREECE!

She is an Australian registered ship which is an absolute bonus to any Australian looking for a trouble free yacht in the Med and of course, the sail back down to Oz if you want.
