DONT HAVE A BOAT (YET)? Not to worry. Each year we enjoy having people who are unable to bring their own boat, wannabees or owners in waiting (boat is being built at the factory in Sweden or possibly still kicking keels of boats and want to learn more about the HR mystique). The feedback we get from these people is very positive its a learning experience and great fun for all. Please attend even if youre not on a Hallberg-Rassy.
