The 2023 edition of the traditional Hallberg-Rassy Rally where everybody wins was again a successful and fun event with lots of sunshine, around 26 degrees Celsius, with light winds from NW.  The event had 89 participating Hallberg-Rassy sailors in 36 yachts. This time the oldest boat was a Hallberg-Rassy 26 from 1978 and the newest an American Hallberg-Rassy 44, delivered the same week as the Rally took place. All sailors enjoyed a real good time together. The delicious dinners were a Swedish West Coast buffet on Friday and Fillet of Beef on Saturday. As the tradition says with this popular Rally, there was no time keeping and only winners. Every boat won some kind of category. Prizes were generous, including for example a Raymarine AIS transducer, a SUP paddle­board from Pantaenius,  a Mastervolt inverter, a sprayhood, an automatic life vest, tools, clothes, bags and a lot more.

Save the date: 14-15 June 2024, that's when the next "Hallberg-Rassy Rally where everybody wins" will be held at the boatyard in Ellös, Sweden.
