At the last minute, Sevenstar suggested taking the boat to IJmuiden. A nice offer, but not really helpful anymore at that time. What […]

The choice is huge and getting bigger…! I don’t know if it’s really true, but it feels as if Hallberg-Rassy has been bringing out a first every year for some time now. A 57-footer, a 40-footer, and also a 50-footer. We have been spoiled in recent years… And now another new size is on the […]
