Can you imagine a brand new Hallberg-Rassy that is launched and used only as a demo boat. Short trips for prospective buyers to get an idea of how this yacht sails and how the layout works at sea and in port. When you get on board, your impression will be that it is a new yacht and not used privately.
That’s the impression we get when we get on board HR 412, VICTORIA. The owner wants to tell me about the yacht and I hesitate to put my notebook on the saloon table, because there is not the slightest scratch in the varnished surface.
After delivery from the boat yard at Orust the first owner sailed to Helsingborg in southern Sweden. They sailed a few short trips in Öresund and in 2020 the boat was not launched.
The present owner have sailed along the west coast of Sweden this year and finally, as a squadron leader, a trip to Bornholm in the southern Baltic Sea.
VICTORIA is now in our marina in Henån on the island of Orust on the west coast of Sweden.
With HR 412, the designer German Frers has created one of Hallberg Rassy’s most well sailing and fastest yachts, without sacrificing comfort requirements for long-distance cruising.
A modern rig where the sailing surface is split in a slightly larger mainsail and only slightly overlapping genoa jib makes it comfortable when tacking.
Push button “controls of sails and electric forward and reverse winches make sailing so smooth that the crew can just sit and enjoy the sailing experience itself.
Most things while sailing are controlled from the steering pedestal, which also increases safety in strong winds at sea.
VICTORIA has one forward cabin and two aft cabins. All three with double berth. One heads directly to starboard side of the entrance stairs and one heads to port side between the saloon and the forward cabin. This layout makes it comfortable for six people on board (see the layout drawing further down in this presentation). Of course, as in all yachts from Hallberg Rassy boat yard, it is very high quality in all interior work.
