Hallberg-Rassy 372 wint titel European Yacht of the Year 2010.

De Hallberg-Rassy 372 is aan het begin van BOOT 2010 in Düsseldorf, door de watersport pers in Europa gekozen tot European Yacht of the Year.

Een fantastisch resultaat waar we natuurlijk enorm trots op zijn. Mocht u de Hallberg-Rassy 372 zelf ook eens willen bewonderen, dan bent u t/m 31 januari a.s., van harte welkom op onze stand in hal 17 van BOOT 2010 in Düsseldorf of natuurlijk in Bruinisse waar een nieuwe HR372 in de winterberging staat.

Hallberg-Rassy leverde met z’n nieuwe 372 de beste Hallberg ooit af – volgens de Europese jury tenminste. Het Zweedse merk wordt weliswaar door de hele jachtbouwindustrie gezien als een soort archetype als het gaat om kwaliteit, maar won desondanks nooit in de geschiedenis van deze competitie een eerste prijs. De 372 zorgde eindelijk voor de doorbraak.

Mit ihrem Modell HR 372 setzen die Schweden vermehrt auf Sportlichkeit und Leistungsfähigkeit. Das war bisher nicht gerade das ausgewiesene Steckenpferd der Traditionswerft. Dennoch bleiben die bewährten Konzepte weitgehend erhalten, genauso wie die generelle Optik an und auch unter Deck. Sanftes Tuning könnte man sagen. Das ist den Mannen um Magnus Rassy ganz besonders gut gelungen. Erstmals realisiert die Werft nun auch im mittleren Längensegment ein Boot mit Achtercockpit. Das zeugt von Mut und Wandlungsfähigkeit. Im Test zeigte die HR überdies ein ungeahntes Temperament. Kurz: Tolles Konzept, tolle Verarbeitungsqualität, tolles Boot.

Yachting World;

Batnytt: An unusually complete cruiser. An easytravelling, surprisingly fast yacht especially upwind in a breeze and a pleasure to helm with a distinctive light pressure. Innovative decklayout, with all lines under a cover and fed to stoppers in the coaming, to make use of either forward or aft winches possible and provide fun trimming.
Inside volume can match low cost boats and is very well used with deep lockers, drawers, and seagoing pantry. Standards in detailing are seamless with beautilful selected Khaya Mahogany, well varnished, perfect fit everywhere and no shortcuts. The atmosphere shows it is possible to marry traditional quality in materials with modern taste for light interiors. Not a low price yacht, but still worth the money. Not least in the long run.

Seilas: Hallberg-Rassy 372 is a cruiser who matches the performance cruisers
in speed and sailing performance. This has all the Hallberg-Rassy`s well known qualities, but in a more modern package. It`s seaworthy, fast and comfortable.

Yachtrevue: Fantastic sailing performance in rough seas; there is no vibration, no bumping, you feel only the powerful surfing through the waves - this is luxury sailing, with good feeling on the helm. She is a bluewater-yacht, but sails nearly as well as a performance cruiser; build quality as expected.

Yacht&Sail: Fast and fun while still a real HR, even if a bit more sporty. If luxury is honest, well-made boats with traditional style, HR is the queen of it. Good, safe and practical solutions and incredibly good sailing!

Yachting World: Pleasurable and easy to sail, this performance-tweaked coastal cruiser still retains that superior level of build and fit out and boasts a well-proportioned interior. Nimble, quick and easy to tack, she provides excellent cockpit comfort for both crew and helm, and is simple for a couple to manage. A quality boat that provides fast yet comfortable push-button sailing.

Swissboat: The sailing performance of HR 372 is a thrill for a boat from this yard! But always the same is the excellent quality of construction and the exclusive standard in interior design.

Voile Magazine: It sails better than the previous generation, the look is rather classic, so it will still be in the future. You can open the transom to access to the sea. And, most of all, the build quality is very good. This might well be the best you can get in this size, and one that will last for long time.

Yacht: Through decades of persistence Hallberg-Rassy has become one of the most valuable and cherished trade marks in international boatbuilding. The HR 372 still looks much like her older siblings, but it adds one more thing to the quality, safety and style the yard is famous for: surprising performance. A joy to steer she is the perfect epitome of luxury - over-achieving your expectations. And doing so without making much fuss about it.

Waterkampioen: The first win for a "Rassy", but more than earned. HR has very carefully implemented ‘new` trends - especially in the interior-styling. So the yacht might maybe not look very modern, but for the yard it is. She`s the perfect balance between their own tradition, new trends and contemporary sailing abilities: this is a VERY good sailing yacht, which might be able to compete with modern performance cruisers. Of course she`s built with the well-known HR building quality. A great job by the Swedes.
