Our boat is a Hallberg-Rassy 54, but it closely resembles
Swept Away, our Hallberg-Rassy 46,
and the rest of the Hallberg-Rassy line of sailing vessels.
We took delivery of the new Hallberg-Rassy 54 at the boatyard in Sweden in mid-April 2007.
You can learn more about the 54 elsewhere on this web site.
Here's the page on the Hallberg-Rassy site describing this legacy sailboat.
If you scroll down the page, there are detailed documents and a photo gallery for the boat geeks out there. You know who you are.
