The first days at sea with the new Hallberg-Rassy 44 Mk II have given us a very positive first impression. She has a fantastic rudder feel, allowing you to steer her effortlessly with just your fingertips. Even when pushing her close to the limit in a fresh breeze, she remains perfectly balanced and easy to control. The twin rudders provide exceptional grip and confidence, while the carbon steering wheel enhances that feeling even further. During our first sail, she remained beautifully balanced and light on the helm, even carrying full sail in gusts of 28-30 knots. Instead of feeling overpowered, she simply converted the extra pressure into speed, reaching a top speed of 12.5 knots. The in-mast furling carbon mast has taken an already great yacht to another level. Compared with an aluminium mast, its lower weight and greater stiffness allow you to carry more sail area in fresher winds while maintaining excellent balance and control. Beyond these obvious advantages, the carbon mast is also more responsive when trimming and tuning the rig. A fantastic yacht has become even better. Jonas Zelleroth. World premiere at Open Boatyard/Öppet Varv 21-23 August 2026 in Ellös, Sweden. https://www.hallberg-rassy.com/yachts/hallberg-rassy-44-mk-ii

We anchored in the bay of Laganas and while we were anchoring, we suddenly heard a puff coming from the water. It turned out to be a sea turtle that swam at the back of the ship and came up for a moment. We were surprised, because we knew that this bay was famous for sea turtles, but we did not expect to see one right away. And it was impressive, because the sea turtle was at least 1 meter long and weighed 80kg, which means that she is certainly more than 50 years old. The sea turtles have become the symbol of Zakynthos, they are called Caretta caretta and can grow up to 1.20 meters and weigh 100 kg. They mainly eat jellyfish, shellfish and seaweed. The breeding season runs from May to August. Females come ashore at night to lay their eggs in holes, after which they cover them with sand. A nest can contain up to 100 eggs. After about 60 days the young turtles hatch. They navigate to the sea by following the moonlight. The caretta caretta is very threatened by pollution, fishing and tourism. We spent 3 days in the bay, saw a sea turtle behind our boat a few times every day, but often 8 tourist boats immediately came to see the turtle very close as it tried to swim to the beach.
