Visiting our New Boat



If anyone thinks we sped through the last outfitting post - you are right, first it is not fun to think about those ugly situations. However in reality we really wanted to tell you about our visit to the Hallberg Rassy yard in Ellos.

We took along weekend August 24-27 and flew to Gothenburg Sweden, where via rental car we travelled to Ellos. This coincided with the annual open house/boat show for Hallberg Rassy. Several different boat manufactures were on display as well as equipment manufacturers. It also gave us a chance to spend more time on a finished sister ship to the HR40, which only fueled our dreams further. Jake requested that we get bunk beds, which unfortunately are only available on the 48 or larger - so we satisfied ourselves practicing in them on the boat show boat.

We also got to tour the factory during the show and then again on Monday privately where we saw our boat under construction.
