Overview

This HR34 is a wonderful example of the model with popular tiller steering and in-mast reefing options. For sale by her second long term owner, SWALLOW has been gently cruised in the South Coast and along the English Channel.
Of particular interest is her below decks autopilot ram which can be activated at the touch of a button.
The sail drive gaiter has been recently renewed and she was re-rigged in 2021. 

With a beautiful furling main from Peter Saunders in 2023 ,SWALLOW is ready for the upcoming season with new owners and should be seriously consideration for short and longer cruising plans.

The Hallberg-Rassy 34 is widely considered to be a modern classic with sea-keeping abilities that are usually found in larger boats. A very well built cruiser from the famous Swedish yard, SWALLOW represents a lot of boat in small and economical package. Early viewing recommended, the Hallberg-Rassy 34 always attracts a lot of attention.

SWALLOW is completing her final preparations for viewings and is ashore at Hamble Point Marina.
