Nothing but winners in the Hallberg-Rassy regatta where everyone wins

The traditional “Hallberg-Rassy regatta where  everyone wins” took place at Ellös, June 15-16, 2012  in the best of weather and winds. As always there were  only winners. 16 boats, 42 sailors in all, won one category each. Focus as usual was on having a good time  and boats were rewarded for a variety of achievements  including eg. “worst chart reader”, “coolest early starting” and “best polished boat”. The first boat to fnish  was the new Hallberg-Rassy 412, which, respecting the  non-racing character of the rally, passed everyone on  the leeward side after having started the rally off. Prizes  were handed out generously and included for instance  a minisafe from ermoprodukter, an inverter from Mastervolt, a foldable bicycle from Watski, three inatable life jackets from Navimo, Watski and Spinlock, sprayhoods from Rössy, emergency ares from Syversens and Navimo, crystal glasses from Furuno, spare part kits for Volvo Penta engines, a wireless drilling  machine from Tools, light kits from Båtsystem, toolkits from Volvo Penta, winch handles from Lewmar, bags from Seldén, Elvström and Ital Nordic, clothes from  Ital Nordic and lots of other useful stu. The event included two dinners, a breakfast and a tour of the yard.

The next “Hallberg-Rassy regatta where everyone  wins” will be at Ellös, June 14-15, 2013. Make sure to  be there if you can.
