EASY ACCESS, EASY MAINTENANCE, GOOD SOUND INSULATION

Technical equipment is installed in the huge engine room. There you find gear such as main engine, gen set, pumps, filters, charger, inverter, a spare propeller and a lot more. This allows for easy access, easy maintenance and good sound insulation. Main inspection doors are to the starboard side, and there are also additional access from the front and from the floor in the cockpit locker. The floor in the cockpit is bolted in place, so the engine may be lifted out the same way it came in. Hallberg-Rassy boats are sailed actively and intensively for a very long time. Sooner or later parts need to be replaced such as engine or tanks. Then it is good to know that those parts may be taken out the same way they got in; through natural openings of the boat. That is what you need on a Blue Water Cruiser.
