Each year, for the last several years, Hallberg-Rassy has hosted an open house for sailing enthusiasts from all over the world. The 2008 event will be held on the weekend of August 22nd through 24th. There is no other place in Scandinavia where you will find so many new sailing yachts in this size range in the water and equipment to look at. You are all invited to join us for this interesting weekend. The open house weekend in 2007 was a huge success. 25 000 people came to the yard to see the boats and the yard. We believe that the open house weekend 2008 will be the same success. Here you can read about what is planned for this event. This page will be updated during the year with more information about this weekend which has become so popular.
