Award winning around the world
The Hallberg-Rassy 40 was presented with an alternative classic layout at the Open House weekend in Ellös in August 2005. The new interior offers a wider saloon and headroom in the walk through to the aft cabin. The toilet room forward of the saloon has a separate shower. Floor is in one level throughout the boat and the galley is seagoing. The mast support comes in direct conjunction with the main bulkhead.
The Hallberg-Rassy 40 has won no less than four attractive awards:
- In January 2003 she was presented European Yacht of the Year in the largest category
- Overall winner in Boat of the Year in USA 2004
- Best Liveaboard cruising boat in USA 2004
- Sailboat of the Show in Stockholm November 2002The Sailboat of the Show jury says:
“The Hallberg-Rassy 40 is a long distance cruiser of highest quality from the Swedish island Orust. The boat is the result of the yard’s long experience in boatbuilding.
This has in the Hallberg-Rassy 40 been further developed to a discrete elegance. Without looking at trends, this is a modern yacht built to highest standards in respect of equipment and comfort.”
