Introduction
The delivery day is a great day, and we wish you good luck with your new Hallberg-Rassy.
The delivery day is, however, a busy day when many things are happening. Things are easily missed and
sometimes you forget what has been explained.
All sailing demands good seamanship. To describe what this means is outside the framework of
this booklet. We assume you have the knowledge to handle your boat in a way that will not
expose yourself or your crew to unnecessary risks.
If you’re changing to a type of craft you are not familiar with, please ensure that you
obtain handling and operating experience before ”taking command” of the craft.
Please remember that safety is nothing that is obtained once for ever. Each skipper continuously has
to look after and when necessary update his boat.
Read this booklet carefully! We have tried to present the essential information in a short and easily
understood way.
The yachts we build differ in size and equipment. The principles are however fairly similar. You will
quickly find out what applies to your boat. The rest you can ignore.
This is the English edition of this manual. It is also available in German and in Swedish.
