When Hallberg-Rassy launched the HR342 in 2005, the model was very well received by both the press and owners. Here, the shipyard managed to combine the well-known Hallberg-Rassy feel with a more modern hull, greater sailing pleasure and more light and spaciousness than many of the previous models. The result was a boat that is described by many as one of the most successful models in its size class – large enough for long-distance sailing and comfortable family life on board, while providing a more lively and responsive sailing experience than the traditional heavier center cockpit models. This is a boat that works just as well for archipelago trips along the Norwegian coast as for long stretches of ocean. The deep, protected cockpit provides safety and comfort in all kinds of weather, while the well-thought-out deck layout makes the boat very well suited for sailing with a small crew.

The boat has been carefully winterized and has been regularly maintained by Hallberg-Rassy and specialist workshops in Sweden.
