Hallberg-Rassy to begin 24-hour production

Swedish sailboat producer Hallberg-Rassy has announced that it plans to introduce 24-hour production at its plant in Ellös on the island of Orust to help cope with the large number of orders it is currently receiving.

Selected parts of production will run 24 hours a day, Sunday evening to Friday evening, for a limited time. The change begins on Sunday evening, August 27, just after the close of this year’s Open Boatyard.

Open Boatyard (Öppet Varv) runs from August 25-27 and is part of the Orust Sailboat Show, organised by Hallberg-Rassy in cooperation with Swedish marine industry association Sweboat. Held at Hallberg-Rassy’s marina, it is said to be Scandinavia’s largest sailboat show.

Yacht equipment will also be displayed, alongside lots of new, used and classic boats from a number of brands.

At Open Boatyard, some 21 yachts under construction by various manufacturers will be on display, including Hallberg-Rassy’s new flagship, the Hallberg-Rassy 69 – its largest model yet.
