Hallberg-Rassy: Sailing Yacht: HR 40   


Award Winning Around the World

The HR 40 was presented with an alternative classic layout at the Open House weekend in August 2005. The interior offers a wider saloon and headroom in the walk through to the aft cabin. The toilet room forward of the saloon has a separate shower. Floor is in one level throughout the boat and the galley is seagoing. The mast support comes in direct conjunction with the main bulkhead.

The HR 40 has won no less than four attractive awards:

• In January 2003 she was presented European Yacht of the Year in the largest category
• Overall winner in Boat of the Year in USA 2004
• Best Liveaboard cruising boat in USA 2004
• Sailboat of the Show in Stockholm November 2002
