Getting to Know Second Wind

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.
