- A short tour of a Hallberg-Rassy 310 sailboat. On the previous cannel there was a long description of this sailboat but it disappeared with the channel, so if you want to know more go to: www.hallberg-rassy.com/sv/bat.... You may think that the boat looks swollen, but if you want get so much space in such a small boat, there will not be so many beautiful lines there, but it still looks quite ok.

dream boat at all :-)
I’ve got one and I love it!
@Marcus Har man deg så är den svårslagen, trevligare än de större.
performanance super yacht in 31 ft ,,, no such animal .
Yes, it was a bit playful, but still. In the 1970s, when recreational boating began, boats 9 meters long were considered large and spacious luxury boats, unattainable for many, but the perspective has changed little. Today they are barely salable. And that may be why HR will stop selling this 31-footer this year and have its 34-footer as the smallest boat in the range.
@@actionc8453 It's sad to hear they plan to stop offering it. It's a truly inspired design. And one which is by now increasingly standing all alone as an uncompromised CE A-rated not-neutered-to-be-trailerable yacht in the under 10m size class. Breehorn makes another one: The Victoire design reborn. But despite being a fantastic seaboat, and being built just as well (even if not quite as lavishly) as Hallberg Rassys, that one is noticeably "smaller" to live on. The 310 is just exactly big enough to offer full, rather uncompromised, accommodation with standing headroom for most. Yet is still a pure tiller boat which is easy and quick to get ready and cast off in. And also one with a sailplan which allows people to keep sailing into an older age than bigger boats, instead of being relegated to sit at the dock waiting for their kids to come over to help them take their bigger boat out. Aside from perhaps tankage limitations, there is really nothing a singlehander or couple, even with a kid or two, can't do in a 310 that they could do in a bigger boat. In comfort, even. And they'd sail it more, since raising, and putting away, sails is quicker and easier.
It has proper 2 meter long cockpit seats for laying down. Instead of ones too short, which even when the boat is specced with a tiller are cut short to accommodate a twin helm version. And the 310s cockpit is narrow enough, and protected by high enough coamings, that wind is kept out much more effectively than is the case for overly wide-transom boats.
Also, compared to, I'd say, any other production boat, this one is the one with the best ventilation. By far! I believe every single portlight is an opening one. Not just a pointlessly overstyled "window" which does little more than collect condensation and making the boat look like a cheesy "luxury housing" ad.. On the newer models, even HR is starting to drift away from going to the trouble of making sure all their port lights fully open. Instead sticking, at most, a tiny mailslot of a porthole into the middle of some "window." As if competing with the cut-every-expense-to-the-bone charter boat makers for stuffiest boatsmell, is something worth aspiring to.....
Amazingly, I believe every single room/enclosed space on the 310, has at least 2 opening hatches and/or port lights. You'd almost think they employed a dedicated ventilation/airflow engineer up there in Sweden. Almost no matter where the wind blows from, you have one opening hatch/portlight upwind of the other. Hence one where fresh air can come in to replace air sucked out through the most downwind one. Instead of that air being replaced with air from the engine room, bilge, lockers and head, the way things often turn out in "lesser" boats.
@@paulnorman8274 Exactly, well-worded, agree, it is a suitable boat, a boat that has a mix of being big enough to live on for a few people and at the same time small and easy to handle that you can easily take a sailing trip with without having to wait for a larger crew. The reason why HR plan to stop offering this model is unknown, but it is probably related to the sales figures. Then also the 31 och 34 are very similar (I'll post a video of the 34 later on) so they may be difficult to distinguish (?). I do not have the latest price list, but according to one from 2017, a 31 and 34 respectively cost about 1.7 and 2.2 million Swedish kronor.
@@actionc8453 the reason they stop selling "small" boats is that the profit is not good enough compared to bigger boats. It's not that they are selling too few.
@@ventricity Not correct. The last two years the Hallberg-Rassy 310 was offered, only one single boat per year was ordered world-wide.
