At Orust Sailboat Show with Open Yard / Öppet Varv in Ellös Sweden 26-28 August 2022 there is world premiere for the first Hallberg-Rassy, a 340, with PU teak. This is something new that doesn’t look or feel as anything new, but as a Hallberg-Rassy has always looked like. Hallberg-Rassy now offer EcoDeck, which is a strong, flexible, solvent free, UV-proof polyurethane resin based decking and caprail system. This viscous-elastic composite material has a stylish and warm effect with a seamless and durable finish. PU teak is made of polyurethane, which is more durable and non-skid than a PVC deck. PU teak has been used for years on superyachts. Traditional teak deck and teak caprail are still available as an option. https://www.hallberg-rassy.com/news/news/ecodeck-new-and-at-the-same-time-as-it-always-has-been
Marta jumped into the Snipe in 2008 to sail the Snipe Women's Worlds in Spain. She likes sailing Snipes because the boat is so technical -- there are lots of adjustments you can make to the rig to get the boat going its fastest. Sailing the Snipe also requires physical preparation. It's just one part of staying healthy by doing things that are fun.
