Designed for comfortable and luxurious long-distance cruising. This stunning vessel boasts a classic yet modern design, with elegant lines and a sturdy construction that is built to last.
The level of craftsmanship in boatbuilding at the traditional Hallberg-Rassy shipyard on the island of Orust in the Swedish Western Archipelago truly sets the stand for quality construction: the quality of the molded GRP, the finish of the interior joinery and the standard of the technical installations are beyond question.

Combined with the electric winches this makes for an effortless sailing experience. Tension in the inner forestay is maintained by diamond stays and running backstays. A Navtec control panel in the cockpit manages the hydraulic boom vang and hydraulic backstay tensioner.
