The most extensive HR film to date shows the 57 in elaborately produced exterior and interior shots, plus sailing scenes and tours on and below deck with shipyard manager Magnus Rassy and sales manager Jonas Zelleroth.
The Hallberg-Rassy 57 was introduced as a new model back in 2018 and presented in a detailed test in YACHT 20/2018. The 17.44 metre long design impressed with its excellent sailing characteristics during the trial run in Sweden. As an absolute novelty, the elegant blue water cruiser is equipped with a centre cockpit with double steering wheels. The 57-footer designed by Germán Frers combines the classic Hallberg-Rassy concept with more modern features such as twin rudders, an integrated bowsprit and a cockpit layout designed for easy handling.
