Hallberg-Rassy 43

 

Its boats seem somehow honest in their approach, and honesty is another old fashioned virtue, which musn’t be allowed to go out of fashion.

Brief History

In this day of series building and mass production, it is good to know that the Hallberg-Rassy boat-building yard existed when boat building still meant using using wood to construct each individual boats.

Hallberg-Rassy specialise in building comfortable sailing boats suitable for longer voyages.

The company has stayed true to the concept of sturdy craft, well-protected cockpits, high endurance and good sailing qualities with a high degree of comfort. It also builds boats with a quality that is affordable.

The company has adapted to the changing requirements of its customers, particularly the demand for better sailing qualities.

Because of its strong position in the international market, it has been able to establish a collaboration with one of the best known designers of our time — German Frers.

German Frers is particularly well known for the racing success of his designs.

However, the fact is he comes from a true boat-building family. He knows the difference between a racing and cruising yacht.
