SILVER SHAMROCK II is ready for a summer of sailing with new owners, This Hallberg-Rassy 342 is a very good example of the small but highly capable cruiser.
The slab reefing mainsail is easily managed from the protected cockpit. Standing from the wheel, one has an unrestricted view forward and digital readouts from instruments and the chart plotter also.
The Hallberg-Rassy 342 is known for her spirited performance on all points of sail and in all sea conditions. The helm is light and responsive making her an easy yacht to control at sea or in marinas.
Her improved LWL and plumb bow/stern give large interior volumes and plenty of natural light below decks. That Hallberg-Rassy hallmark finish and practical features are all in place for comfortable living on board. SILVER SHAMROCK II has seen particularly light use and her interior joinery is in impressive condition throughout.
She has been sailing on both sides of the English Channel with her owners, but never for any great length of time. She also benefits from an all over mast-up cover which is on, in part, all year round, preserving this beautiful yacht further.
The current berth at Port Solent Marina can be transferred to new owners and expires at the end of March 2026.
SILVER SHAMROCK II is a UK tax paid yacht.
