The Hallberg-Rassy 412 has a revolutionary FatFurl in-mast furling mainsail. FatFurl combines a proper headboard of 33 cm at the top with a generous positive leech curve. Seemingly too-good-to-be-true, but still true. For the first time ever there is now a furling mainsail that visually and performance-wise fully matches a traditional folding mainsail with long battens. The sail has been developed in co-operation between HallbergRassy and Elvstrøm and will be offered in the OEM market (market for new boats) only through HallbergRassy for one year. The headboard contains a secret solution making it stiff enough for sailing, yet soft enough to be furled.
