Introduction
KEWA is a blue water sailing vessel designed, meticulously outfitted, continually
upgraded, and rigorously maintained for serious coastal and offshore cruising. She was
designed by Frers and built by Hallberg-Rassy in Ellos, Sweden in 1999. The hull
number 126. HR46s were manufactured between 1995 and 2005, after which the HR46
was replaced with the HR48 and subsequently the HR50.
KEWA has extensive cruising experience, having crossed the Atlantic and been sailed up
and down the US East Coast and to the Caribbean. She has also sailed extensively on the
US and Mexico Pacific Coast, from Seattle, Washington to Ixtapa, Mexico. This
experience has confirmed how well founded the boat is and resulted in the configuration,
outfitting and upgrades that make the boat safe, and a true comfort and pleasure when
you leave the dock whether only for a day sail or for extensive offshore cruising.
I love technology and electronics and, accordingly, KEWA is outfitted for maximum
safety, flexibility, comfort, and enjoyment.
This is a living document designed to serve as a general operating guide for cruising and
maintaining KEWA, and to also comment on relevant information related to the
inventory, configuration, upgrading and servicing of the boat. I’ve also included certain
cruising information related to the US and Mexico Pacific West Coast.
