Overview
About this vessel
Hallberg-Rassy built ALTER EGO as a family cruising yacht with the capacities and resources to allow for extended passage making and life, independent of land, for extended periods. She has good battery capacities with excellent charging capability. Fuel capacity has been extended with an extra 300ltr fuel tank, over 1,000ltrs of water tank capacity that can be topped up every day with the high-capacity water maker.
It was also important that the yacht could be handled with a minimum of crew on watch so the powered winches and furling systems can all be operated from the helm position; with the Hallberg-Rassy push Button Sailing concept one person can set, reef and furl the sails away without leaving the wheel. ALTER EGO was sailed two-handed by her husband and wife crew in the ARC and won their class, proving the effectiveness of the system. The recent addition of the stern thruster means ALTER EGO can also be managed short-handed when manoeuvring in the confines of modern marinas.
After a few seasons in the Caribbean ALTER EGO has spent most of her cruising life in northern Europe and she is a UK VAT Paid yacht. ALTER EGO is one of the last Hallberg-Rassy 53 built. She is constantly maintained and refitted to a high standard. She has recent sails, standing rigging, replacement genset, with new batteries, stern thruster, communication and navigation inventory all fitted in 2026.
