The original HR 43 has been built in no less than 150 units from August 2001. At the traditional Hallberg-Rassy Open House weekend August 2007 a new updated version, the Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk II, was presented. The Hallberg-Rassy 43 represents an evolution of earlier models, especially 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. - Germán Frers
