Boats need to be again thoroughly tested and evaluated in a lot of different criterias in the fall of 2009 and the result about the winner will be revealed in connection with the Düsseldorf boat show in January 2010. |

Arne Mårtensson and Yaghan to Hallberg-Rassy Open House
|
Mr Mårtensson and his wife Heléne are at this point onboard their “Yaghan” around the world. They cast off from Stockholm on June 1st, 2006, and estimate to arrive back home on July 28th this year. The total sailing distance is 44 000 nautical miles, and they have sailed via the Antarctic, South Pacific , South Africa, South America, Caribbean and then back to Sweden. Mr Mårtensson says: “Before we set out on our circumnavigation we sailed 12 000 nautical miles in this boat and were convinced that we couldn’t find a better boat for a circumnavigation with only two people onboard. One of our “test and training” tours went to Iceland in 2003.” The Hallberg-Rassy 62 “Yaghan” will be on show in the Hallberg-Rassy marina during the Open House Weekend. There will be approximately a hundred new boats from many different boat builders exhibited of which nine are Hallberg-Rassy yachts. Also the yard will be available for viewing. Mr and Mrs Mårtensson has many tales to tell from their circumnavigation experiences and lots of beautiful pictures to show. The talk will be held in English so that our international guests will be able to follow. It is a popular tradition at the Hallberg-Rassy yard to arrange a social evening with an interesting talk during the Open House Weekend. Each year the event has been fully booked and there is every reason to believe that Mrs and Mr Mårtensson’s talk will be even more popular. Therefore, talks have already been planned for two occasions: One talk on Saturday evening, August 22nd at 7 pm with supper included, and the other talk on Sunday, August 23rd at 12 o’clock noon, with no food included. For booking instructions, please go here. |

Everybody wins at Hallberg-Rassy regatta
|
The spirits ran high, and on Saturday a regatta was held and everybody won. No time-keeping was used nor was there any handicap system. Prize categories were rather unconventional, like the prize to “Best boat with dog on board” - truth is there was only one boat with a dog onboard taking part. So each boat won in some category or other. To see a photo gallery, please go here. Might this be the only regatta in the world where everybody wins? |

Hallberg-Rassy innovation: electric furling ensign

The winner of the fourth Mediterranean
Hallberg-Rassy Regatta is the Italian HR 48 No 23 "Falabrach".
Second overall is the HR 39 "Vampa". The first day the weather
offered a breeze from NW with 8-12 knots, 30 degrees Celsius and
fantastic sunshine. All participating crews also had a very nice
dinner at the local restaurant "Il Delfino verde" who is located
"on" the sea in front of where the boats were docked. The second day
also "Falabrach" arrived first, ahead HR 48 No 40 "Zimbra". The wind
was strong ESE up to 22-23 knots, so crews were really busy trying
to get the best result. HR 48 No 42 "Manilù 4" achieved third place
in real time all days. This year 32 Hallberg-Rassy yachts applied,
of which 20 boats and 180 people came to the start line. The
winning HR 48 "Falabrach" will also compete in the ARC over the
Atlantic in November. That is the start of a 3 year round the world
cruise. |
