You may combine the saloon of your choice with the aft cabin of your choice, so that you in reality have four layouts to choose from. All interior woodwork in light mahogany matt silk finish.

Improvements for model year 2011
The teak deck is now vacuum glued, without screws. This means there is more teak to wear off, and consequently you get an extended service life. The teak battens in the teak deck are now wider, which has already been the case on Hallberg-Rassy 43 Mk II and larger. When reefing compensator is ordered, that is now upgraded to a better system “E-Flex”. E-Flex has the following advantages compared to the previous E-Foam: E-Flex does not compress under pressure as foam can. E-Flex has less friction when furling the first turns. There is no risk for moisture in the tape below the foam, simply because there is no foam. The E-Flex system consists of polypropylene lines laid into a polyester coat. The electrical system is from now on a CanBus system, which is already successfully implemented in the 310, 372, 48 and 54. The light switches for navigation lights are moved to the cockpit on CanBus boats. Dimmers for selected interior lights are also optionally available. The alcoves in the saloon now have white wooden battens, as already seen on the Hallberg-Rassy 310. The hinges to the plexi glass shower panels are now more elegant. The cushions in the saloon will be smooth without buttons, as has already been the case on Hallberg-Rassy 310, 342, 372 and 37. |
