Hallberg-Rassy 310 - easy to handle

After the experience gained from building no less than 2,145 31 footers (Monsun 31, 312, 94 Kutter and 31) and the overwhelming response to the introduction of the HR 372, Hallberg-Rassy now introduces the all-new Frers-designed Hallberg-Rassy 310. She replaces the successful Hallberg-Rassy 31 Mk II which has been in production for 16 years and was still able to win comparative tests with other yachts of her size in 2006. Designs that are right from the beginning simply have a better future.

Easy handling
The new model is easy to sail with her contemporary hull lines and modern sailplan with only slightly overlapping genoajib or optional selftacker. A Code Zero or gennaker may be flown between the masthead and a removable bowsprit. An under-deck mounted genoajib furler Furlex TD is standard equipment. Also a powerful backstay tensioner with 1:24 purchase is standard equipment. The top shrouds and the lower shrouds are separated to individual chainplates, to allow easy passage on deck and good sheeting of the genoajib. The cockpit is generous and over 2.35 m long. There is easy access to the boat when entering from the transom.

Bright and spacious interior
The interior is bright and unusually roomy for her size. There are fourteen light inlets in total; there are four skylights, two of which are in the saloon. All nine portlights are opening and the same size as the Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk II. The locker doors are flush and have invisible hinges. The saloon is sensationally long and wide for the boatsize. Both the L sofa and the straight settee are a full two meters long. The mast support is in direct conjunction with the main bulkhead and does not obstruct the saloon. Both the aft and forward cabins are generous. The aft cabin has two opening portlights and a hanging locker.

388 miles range
Tank volume is large for her size and the engine is generously powered with 22 hp / 16.2 kW and the cruising range at 2/3 of full RPM is about 388 nautical miles. LED navigation lights are standard equipment and have very low power consumption, only a tenth of traditional navigation lights.

Racing succsess
The Hallberg-Rassy 310 has already shown her good sailing performance by winning her class in the World's largest inshore race, Tjörn Runt. She won among 68 boats.
