The all-new Hallberg-Rassy 310
After the experience gained from building no less than 2,145 31 footers (Monsun 31, 312, 94 Kutter and 31) and the overwhelming response to the introduction of the HR 372, Hallberg-Rassy now introduces the all-new Frers-designed Hallberg-Rassy 310. She replaces the successful Hallberg-Rassy 31 Mk II which has been in production for 16 (!) years and even in 2006 was able to win comparative tests with other yachts of her size. Designs that are right from the beginning, simply have a better future.
Easy to handle
The new model is easy to sail with her contemporary hull lines and modern sailplan with only slightly overlapping genoajib or optional selftacker. A Code Zero or gennaker may be flown between the masthead and a removable bowsprit. An under-deck mounted genoajib furler Furlex TD is standard equipment. Also a powerful backstay tensioner with 1:24 purchase is standard equipment. The top shrouds and the lower shrouds are separated to individual chainplates, to allow easy passage on deck and good sheeting of the genoajib. The cockpit is generous and over 2.35 m long. There is easy access to the boat when entering from the transom. Hallberg-Rassy typical features such as the windscreen, integrated rubbing strake and a lead keel on a proper bilge come without saying.
Teak toe rail
The deck to hull joint is laminated together before the interior is built in and this gives a high torsional strength factor. The toerail has a teak capping and the rainwater is drained in hoses under the waterline to prevent streaks on the hullside.
Bright and roomy interior
The interior is bright and unusually roomy for her size. There are fourteen light inlets in total; there are four skylights, of which two are in the saloon. All nine portlights are opening and the same size as the Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk II. The locker doors are flush and have invisible hinges.
The saloon is sensationally long and wide for the boatsize. Both the L sofa and the straight settee are a full two meters long. The mast support is in direct conjunction with the main bulkhead and does not obstruct the saloon.
Seagoing galley
The seagoing galley does not interfere with the natural flow through the boat. Someone working in the galley does not obstruct the access to the aft cabin. There are deep double sinks and a fridge with a basket to organize small items. The countertop is solid PlexiCor composite stone.
Both the aft and forward cabins are generous. The aft cabin has two opening portlights and a hanging locker. The berth is 206 cm long, 143 cm in the wide end and 100 cm at the footend. The forward cabin benefits from its own vanity and hanging locker.
The toilet compartment has excellent ventilation with opening portlight and skylight. The skylight is fitted with milk coloured glass to obscure view but allow light through. The countertop and sink are solid PlexiCor composite stone.
388 miles range
Tank volume is large for her size and the engine is generously powered with 22 hp / 16.2 kW and the cruising range at 2/3 of full RPM is about 388 nautical miles.
LED navigation lights are standard equipment and have very low power consumption, only a tenth of traditional navigation lights.
Racing succsess
The Hallberg-Rassy 310 has already showed her good sailing performance by winning her class in the World's largest inshore race, Tjörn Runt. She won among 68 boats.
Sales success
Although the Hallberg-Rassy 310 has just been launched to the market, the model is by number of units Halllberg-Rassy's current best seller.
Press clips
Yachting Monthly, March 2010 issue, in their 24 hour test of the Hallberg-Rassy 310 says:
Hallberg-Rassy is leading, not following.
After 24 hours of barnstorming sailing in winds of up to 40 knots, finally the 310 behaves like a lady. She felt gloriously responsive, easily controlled and well weighted. Main and jib were easily managed, which is quite something in our test conditions. Finding the right balance was simple and we were able to make any tweaks from the cockpit.
The saloon is huge, with amazing light and ventilation. Two hatches and four large, opening sideports bathe the interior with light and air. There are thoughtful details like the small pressurized water reservoir so the pump doesn’t fire up at the slightest twitch of the tap.
She is a good looking boat. The sheerline sweeps gracefully up to the bow, improving volume below the foredeck and softening the look of the coachroof. Coamings and windscreens enclose the cockpit, creating a secure feeling and keeping you dry. Above the huge cockpit locker to starboard, there’s another simple idea we liked – the nav light switches are built into the coaming, beside the autopilot and engine controls. You don’t have to yell below to get them turned on. Had we needed to move forward, there’s an excellent handrail on the side screen, handrails running the length of the coachroof and deep, teak-capped toerails. We also liked the bronze scupper drains that empty any shipped water below the boot top to prevent streaky topsides. Moving forward, between the cap shrouds outboard and the genoa tracks and lower shrouds inboard, is simple and secure.
She’s quick, pretty and the space below is remarkable in a yacht of this size. Construction is up to the standards you would expect of Hallberg-Rassy
This is a hugely entertaining yacht – fast and fun, spirited but secure, comfortable and capacious, impeccably built and, because of the name, sure to hold her value.
