The Hallberg-Rassy 43 represents an evolution of earlier models, specially the HR 42. Compared to the earlier design the first thing that becomes apparent is the relatively longer waterline thus a slender hull. This longer waterline would bring immediate improvements in speed and sea-kindliness. The hull construction follows HR current and well proven practice of building solid bottom layup and cored topsides and decks for very good results in strength and longevity. Compared with the 42 the interior layout has been improved, adding a separate shower on the forward toilet, good headroom in the walk-through to the aft cabin and overall polishing of details and layouts. I expect the new HR 43 to become a classic in her range and style with very good sailing capabilities and volume inside. Clean uncluttered decks and a well protected cockpit, typical of the HR Line. |
