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
