I've watched this video about 5 times or more now. Has to be one of the nicest 34 "feeters" on the market. I suspect the price is high but if you can afford it, I'm sure it will hold better value than some of the less expensive brands. This could be a nice first AND last boat for me.
Just bought number 74 :-) Its an amazing boat. Thank you for such stunning video. Now, I can referring to the video when the people ask me to show pictures of the boat. Seeing her as work in progress in Ellös in February was fascinating. Thank you !
Jumping on the saloon table 😂 ... beautiful small yacht, great to see every aspect of the use has been included in the design, it give the finished product elegance.
Absolutely stunning boat with video production to match. Thank you for taking the time to showcase the smallest yacht in your line. I would have no problem coastal cruising OR making a passage in this boat when properly equipped. This fills a very specific niche and frankly there is no comparison with any 40' and under "production" boat and the 340 overall. Thanks again, Hallberg Rassy and team. Well done, Jonas.
Jonas, great presentation. I am looking forward to open yard later this summer to see the yard and see how my new 340 is going to be built. Before you know it my 340 will be built and ready to be transported to her home port of Annapolis next year. I'm so happy to have been able to purchase a 340. Eric K
I’m in awe and cannot wait to sail her next year !! The video tour is quite amazing too. The archipelago around Ellös is as beautiful as Sydney Pittwater.
Thank you Jonas. Well done. I find the idea of walking youtube viewers through these interesting sailboats excellent. If you find time to do it, please continue. Cheers.
Wonderful presentation - thank you very much! I may not belong to the buying class, but seeing the yacht is simply beautiful and makes the ageing heart beat at a younger pace. It's not often that something is so inspiring!
I just watched again and had to stop at the 6:20 mark to write how happy it makes me that you properly tie on the cleat. Too often we see a mess on a cleat. Yours is clean and perfect.
Fantastic video ! I love HR and after a 46 now we sail the world ocean with a 53 …. But as you know… age increases and feet boat decreases!!! Why not after 90000 miles she could be the right answer for an aged skipper!
Wow! That was an excellent review. Wish all the models had this level of review for them.-- QUESTION -- What some would want to learn about is the dual unprotected rudders. What is the actual danger using unprotected rudders vs the skeg that you normally had previously? Can you speak about real world experience with these? How often has one broken due to hit logs or shallow reefs or something and what happens if you do hit? Will water sink the boat? what safety is built in to ensure that a rudder hit will not sink you.
It is and old incorrect myth that a skeg should give some kind of protection. In opposite, the rudder system used here is safer, with less exposed rudder depth and more safety margin. It is all a question of dimensioning. And also that skeg hung rudders cannot use self adjusting bearings, which is the case here, taking up more load than a skeg hung rudder. We have delivered hundreds of boats with this set up seen on the 340 and never had a structural rudder issue. Still avoiding crashing into an underwater rock or a reef is always a good idea. There is a collision bulkhead on the 340, steering and some hoses need to go through but the emergency bilge pump should cope with even a water ingress if you damage the boat by running aground.
@@HallbergRassy412 ..that is good to hear. Starting to really like dual rudders. Can you dry out the boat on a beach and have it stand on the dual rudders and the keel?
@@Coleen-Love The yacht can stand on its keel provided there is a static load and that you have sufficient side support by posts. The rudders are not designed for that purpose and also too shallow for that.
Jonas, amazing boat and amazing video. Can you please answer a couple of questions? For a longer passage - say an ARC crossing - would you recommend putting a portable electric cooler in the starboard cockpit locker due to the smaller size of the top-loading fridge? I'll bet this boat equipped with an Elstrom blue-water runner headed downwind on the ARC passage would absolutely fly!
Nice long form review would've been great if you would've mentioned the headroom in the different areas of the cabin or the length of the benches.. To sleep on...
@HR can you explain why the yard has chosen for double steering wheels and a bathing platform? I know standard spec is with tiller, but I feel that there is less and less demand for that, especially in this size.
It is so easy to move around in the cockpit with twin wheels, and you see the sails and the maneuvers in the marina so much better when you get out on the side. And you have a chart plotter and control buttons within easy reach too. The fold out swim platform is great, extends the useable area of the big cockpit further. But if you for some reason do not want that comfort, or are used to a tiller and no swim platform, this model is available with tiller and no fold-out platform, it is even standard.
It's beautiful boat with beautiful furniture what is not case with most of new boats. I'm owner of bavaria 36 2003 model and most of new boats looks much cheaper inside than her what is not case with HR 340.
Hallberg-Rassy boats are always well thought out, well built and beautiful. This is the finest 34 sailboat I've ever seen.
What do you think of the looks of this boat…it looks very awkward/podgy to me 😱 I’m rather surprised, esp. the stern.
I actually thought she lay very nicely in the water while sailing... definitely one of the most beautiful modern 30footers I've looked at on video.
These are beautiful videos, please keep them coming for all your models!
Of all the yachts I can't afford, I like this one the most.
The best "small boat", no doubt. On my wish list since I first knew about it.
If you had a 'Press to buy' button at the end of this video, you would have had a sale! 😊 Beautifully done.
really??
how much is it?
Great boat and an amazing video!

How is she sailing?
Gorgeous boat, amazing scenery, great video - what an amazing brand and builder. Well done!

What a lovely way to show off your new 34ft, very informative, thank you for your trouble. Good wishes.
Hallberg-Rassy!!! What else?! Now even the last one knows why they are legend!

One of the best walk-through “tours” I’ve seen. Great presentation.
Probably the best 34 money can buy, thank you for this video.

Beautiful boat and gorgeous cinematography
That is a wonderful boat, thank you very much.
Excellent intro to the 340!
Absolutely beautiful

Thank you Jonas.
Well done.

Very nice boat and very nice vidéo ! I hope you will make others videos for the others boats: the 40c and the 44. Thank you very much!!!
Just perfect. Beautifully filmed, great commentary and photography. This boat is my dream.....
Have viewed many sailboas....this one is just Perfect.. GOOD JOB
Lovely well built yacht, everything very solid and functional.
Beautiful yacht and wonderful video! I better start saving.
Amazing boat
The experience of Hallberg Rassy over years is well visible
Wonderful presentation - thank you very much! I may not belong to the buying class, but seeing the yacht is simply beautiful and makes the ageing heart beat at a younger pace. It's not often that something is so inspiring!
A very impressive presentation of a great looking 34’ yacht. I’m impressed, a lot, and I am planning a trip to the Orust boat show in August!
Man blir bara glad när man tittar.
Impeccable attention to details! As you would expect from Hallberg-Rassy.
Very professional
Wonderful video and boat! I would love one!
I just watched again and had to stop at the 6:20 mark to write how happy it makes me that you properly tie on the cleat. Too often we see a mess on a cleat. Yours is clean and perfect.
Fantastic boat and nice video editing too 🙏🏼
Very classy vessel
What a video! Such a great boat!
Elsker swenglish hehe ❤🎉 Og for en fantastisk båt!!!❤ 🇳🇴🤝🇸🇪
My impossible dream....... Beautiful
Love it! Wish I could afford one! Maybe in 20 years for a used one! TY guys!
Nice, it is very good video.
The classic and the vanguard together congratulations beautiful!
Wish more manufacturers would do this. Those 3 minute videos just don't cut it.
A most elegant craft!
Beautiful boat, so we'll thought out, ouzes quality. Beautiful video too.. Now to buy more lottery tickets 🫰
Fantastic video ! I love HR and after a 46 now we sail the world ocean with a 53 …. But as you know… age increases and feet boat decreases!!! Why not after 90000 miles she could be the right answer for an aged skipper!
I inspire to have one of these one day... my dream. thanks for making beautiful yatchs
Den här HR modellen gillar jag skarpt - tack för bra visning!👍🏼
I love HR! Of all the high end boats they just seem to have the edge. Dreamboat. I'll have to win the lotto though lol
Your boats are just perfect. If time and money permits, I will become your customer one day!
Nice boat, the price is just off the roof though, or should I say off the deck

Great video Jonas. What a fantastic little (big) boat. Now where did I leave my chequebook....?
Um lindo veleiro, qualidade inigualável, parabéns !
Thank you very beautiful boat. ᓚᘏᗢ
Very nice video again Jonas!
Great video and nice way to discover the boat. Would have really liked to have started out of the water too!
A well thought out and well executed boat.
Wow wow wow what a schip. What a video.
Nice boat, nice video ...
I hope one day I will see one on the Great Lakes!

Eine wundervolle Hallberg-Rassy
What a beautyful video thank you for sharing
wow ....stunning
Awesome!
Love this boat. Need one..😊
Beautiful.
29.00 Wow DOUBLE berth aft cabin!!!
Never saw that coming...
Bucket List Boat!!!
My Dream boat
Jag älskar att du säger "shart" istället för "chart"❤
Very nice boat!!! Can you get it with aircondition, watermaker, highoutput alternator (200+amp) and litiumbatteries?
Most of it. Please enquire at www.hallberg-rassy.com/contact/main-office-in-sweden
So nice
PLEASE DO a video on the 40C.
Great! Very like
Nice long form review would've been great if you would've mentioned the headroom in the different areas of the cabin or the length of the benches.. To sleep on...
If you follow the link in the text about this video and go to Files and Documents -> Standard Specification, you will find such info

Dream boat
I was thinking about this model and length for a large lake for fresh water sailing.
Gorgeous❤❤❤
Takk så mykket!
Two different boats in this movie, right? For example, stereo is fusion and car radio...
Yes, correct, two different boats
What does the keel look like? Is the rudder blade protected by a skeg?
Please follow the link in the info text for very detailed info
Tiller steering is standard and wheels are a option? Just something I think is a bit....not cool. IMO
All fine except the furling mainsail.
compact yacht is good~!
11:24 is hilarious!
What a beauty! ⛵️🔝😍 #in2sailing
Il 34 da crociera più bello che c'è in commercio .
Dream
Lovely vessel.. Just wish they could have put in a real nav station.
1 peson can control and sail by alone??😅
Nice day sailor.
Or around the world cruiser. The route is your choice.
Did I miss something where was the nav table
Kan det monteres vindstyring sentrert på den nedfellbare akterenden? Eller altså vil festee for lemmen tåle påkjennelsen?
Det går att lösa men på ett annat sätt. Kontakta varvet för närmare info. www.hallberg-rassy.com/contact/main-office-in-sweden
It's beautiful boat with beautiful furniture what is not case with most of new boats.
I'm owner of bavaria 36 2003 model and most of new boats looks much cheaper inside than her what is not case with HR 340.
