Small changes to rig on the MKII

The new slightly taller rig, where the mainsail is a little larger and there is a slight fractional rigging in line with the HR 37, 40, 48 and 54. The rig combines the sturdiness of the masthead rig with the easier trimming facilities of a fractional rigging.

The HR is still out in front when it comes to an "industrial strength" build quality, but it comes at a price. The 43MarkII starts at Euro 395,000 not including tax, whereas the Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 42CC ( Center Cockpit, like the HR ) is a mere Euro 119,000 not including tax.

The original HR43 gets a facelift

Some of the other minor changes include:- The seating comfort of the cockpit is improved by a better shape of the coaming, in line with the HR 54 and HR 342.

An all new deck mould

The HR will be ready to test at the Hallberg-Rassy Open House weekend 24-26 August 2007.
