That the location for the New Year’s reception was moved to Lelystad was nice for me personally. Closer to home, free and ample parking, cosy no nonsense restaurant and a view of the marina. What more could you want? Yes warmer and dry weather, because it was cold, wet and very windy in Lelystad. We […]

One of the users of the HRC Social app group spotted two enthusiastic stories on the Zeilwereld site from people who make exciting sea voyages with their Hallberg-Rassy. It’s always fun to read what ‘adventures’ you can have with a Hallberg-Rassy and we didn’t want to withhold that from non-users of the app group either. […]
