Guided tour and test sailing of the Hallberg-Rassy 40 C with Niklas Lindgren. 00:46 Exterior Walk-Through 04:04 Test Sailing 07:50 Interior Walk-Through Boatagent.com
Proper sailors don't like Hallberg Rassy anymore because they have gotten rid of their single skegged rudder and followed the modern trend of unprotected twin rudders - which are very dangerous for bluewater cruising.
Watching your video on my iPad while watching the Beatles on a big screen television RU-vid video playing “Hey Jude,” a perfect name for the boat. Hey Jude don’t let me down, she has found you now go and get her. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start, to make it better. Better, better, better. Hey Jude, Jude, Jude, Judie. I need this boat bad. Thanks for the wonderful video and showing this very beautiful boat. Happy New Year.
If there was one item i could own in my life that boat is it! No interest in some 100 foot superyachts or mansions or whatever. This boat is it. Explore the whole world on my own, just me and the boat. Its a dream machine! Really nice precentation. Subscribed
A handsome well laid out boat with only one noticeable oddity in design the the cockpit windows are stylistically awkward with the two competing designs; the larger longer ones would have been more appropriate if they'd been made longer doing away with the metal framed smaller rectangular ones, for consistency of design overall the rest is formidable !
I sailed a 46 for years, an excellent and very stable sailor. SF Bay, Coastal to Puerto Vallarta, north to Seattle. With full on heavy sea and strong tailwind she jibes like a dream, always in total control. You might thing the cockpit is small, but while sailing you feel comfortable as you are always close to a rail...
@@boatagent Great presentation! I also agree with Colin, perhaps different cuts of video for different persona(s) of buyer? This video seemed pretty tailored for the coastal cruiser with some nods for longer distance. I'd also like to see a video aimed more at the long distance sailor, engine room, tanks, storage, redundancy, accessibility, comfort under sail, changes or recommendations for long distance outfitting, etc. This sort of detail would be fantastic to hear, an example of this without getting perhaps _too in the weeds_ is Pete Goss tour of the Garcia Exploration 45.
I recognise those sheds and quay! 🙂 A gorgeous boat and the controls on the wheel binnacle? Could you ever need more for shorthanded sailing. Just gorgeous ❤
I personally think the HR 40C is a great luxury yacht, a fantastic bluewater cruiser. However, I still prefer the Sirius 40 DS, if I had the choice and, of course, the necessary "shrapnel" to afford such a fine boat.
Bow should be longer than the stern. The deepest point of the hull is the stem one half the distance between the mast and forestay. If you keel the mast at the mast with a wing keel then you have to keel the headsails relative to the sail area of the head sail and the mast to keel the LWR of the keel line stem to stern.
The problem is unlike previous Rassy boat designs that are known doing ocean passages, the aft on this one has been made rather wide so this will roll more when cruising down wind. Better suited for cruising in the med than doing blue water sailing.
show the video, I was just confused because I always knew that Hallberg Rassy boats were blue water, and in your video you said that they are for coastal navigation, I don't understand
You are not alone. That's life. There's ppl out there that's way worse off doe. Enjoy whats within your reach and don't be sad about the unreachable things.
What about the engine: HP? And the rudders and the propulsion (saildrive) and the bow- and aft thruster(s)? Did you ever heard of a sailboat with aft thrusters...? Problem with the 2 side rudders (no skegs btw) and saildrive is, that you have no control on maneuvering at low speed (ports, births). Yes, that will be compensated by the thrusters (= more maintenance or failure). But why 2 rudders? For that more upwind sailing? But then the hull, keel and sailplan don't match. And then there is the teak deck (is that really teak?). Luckily it's glued on with no srews but teak decks in the end will bring you (costly) problems. For that kind of money i would look at other brands.
I have to agree. This is trying to appeal to the same market that Beneteau, and other coastal cruisers are interested in. To be fair he does admit that this is a coastal cruiser. Your boat is more of a blue water vessel.
Very cool. Very similar to my grandparents old HR43 with only an additional bathroom in the place of the elongated galley. I love this interior design where you can go behind the cockpit underneath. It's such a nice separation of rooms - and of course in the 43 there's the bathroom in the rear for the master cabin as well. On another note. Does anybody know the name of the melody/music played in the background?
If I"ll put 1000 Euros on savings monthly, I need 36 years to buy such a boat. Damn, I'll be 72 that time... but I'll die allready till the time, probably. Thats a pity.
Electrical winches, electrical furling on jib and main... no mention of battery capacity or how the heck to keep them charged at sea without burning diesel for hours at a time... Well, at least it's got a cool wineglass rack. 🙄 Edit.. Love the boom clearance... perfect for taking off heads of unsuspecting crew during accidental gybes!
@@boatagent I delivered a 42 HR i think a 98 model to Fiji , Comfortable , Seaworthy & 4th out of 11 leaving Russel NZ , Smallest yacht in the group , Keen crew , enjoyable trip .
I would love to see what the hardtop version looks like. Any renderings or video reviews of similar/sister boats to get an idea? Does the builder provide or can they arrange cross atlantic transfer to Maine with a purchase?
Rätt båt för trevlig kustsegling på semestern för den som vill visa sin ekonomiska framgång. Dvs en vanlig VD-båt från HR. Den som vill ha en oceangående båt söker sig söderut till Amel eller Garcia.
I hate this kind of cockpit, very tiring to always jump in and out. And the tables behind the glass of the dodger! The wood goes bad and it is only plywood. A good boat with a lot of little problems.
Can anyone do a boat review like a car review would be conducted ? without "comparisons" is impossible to tell what is "best" or "good". this videos never compares the "segment" ... an HR40 is 2x the price of a German or French production 40ft - that is worth comparing... Or perhaps compare to a Malo or Najad? without comparisons this video seems biased.
