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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
An hybrid engine would have avoided needing to use the diesel in this demo. The blackout in the v-birth seems to be unnecessarily leaky. Why not a main sheet traveler on a raised frame that could then supports a cockpit cover extension to a Bimini? Why not an induction stove? Why not remote control? Not sure how much all that would keep the price down but it may keep the sales down. Oh well.
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.
Check Out a Sirius 35 DS
Of all the yachts I can't afford, I like this one the most.
These are beautiful videos, please keep them coming for all your models!
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?
😂😂
Gorgeous boat, amazing scenery, great video - what an amazing brand and builder. Well done!

How is she sailing?

Probably the best 34 money can buy, thank you for this video.
One of the best walk-through “tours” I’ve seen. Great presentation.
What a lovely way to show off your new 34ft, very informative, thank you for your trouble. Good wishes.
Beautiful boat and gorgeous cinematography
Hallberg-Rassy!!! What else?! Now even the last one knows why they are legend!

Have viewed many sailboas....this one is just Perfect.. GOOD JOB
Just perfect. Beautifully filmed, great commentary and photography. This boat is my dream.....
Beautifull movie and skipper explained everything very well, thanks for sharing 🤝
Excellent intro to the 340!
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!
Lovely well built yacht, everything very solid and functional.
That is a wonderful boat, thank you very much.

Beautiful yacht and wonderful video! I better start saving.
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!!!
Wonderful video and boat! I would love one!
Amazing boat
The experience of Hallberg Rassy over years is well visible
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!
Absolutely beautiful
Nice, it is very good video.
Very professional
Man blir bara glad när man tittar.
Very classy vessel
Impeccable attention to details! As you would expect from Hallberg-Rassy.
My impossible dream....... Beautiful
What a video! Such a great boat!
Fantastic boat and nice video editing too 🙏🏼
The classic and the vanguard together congratulations beautiful!
Nice boat, nice video ...
Love it! Wish I could afford one! Maybe in 20 years for a used one! TY guys!
A most elegant craft!

Eine wundervolle Hallberg-Rassy

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
Dream boat
A well thought out and well executed boat.
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!
Thank you very beautiful boat. ᓚᘏᗢ
Um lindo veleiro, qualidade inigualável, parabéns !
Wish more manufacturers would do this. Those 3 minute videos just don't cut it.
Awesome!
Great video and nice way to discover the boat. Would have really liked to have started out of the water too!
Bucket List Boat!!!
Love this boat. Need one..😊
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?

What a beautyful video thank you for sharing
Beautiful.
Make one of these longer films for the 40C please! 🙏
Nice boat, the price is just off the roof though, or should I say off the deck
Your boats are just perfect. If time and money permits, I will become your customer one day!
Great video Jonas. What a fantastic little (big) boat. Now where did I leave my chequebook....?
I hope one day I will see one on the Great Lakes!
29.00 Wow DOUBLE berth aft cabin!!!
Never saw that coming...
My Dream boat
PLEASE DO a video on the 40C.
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
I was thinking about this model and length for a large lake for fresh water sailing.
So nice
Очень классная лодка,все есть и ничего лишнего.
Какая цена этой красоты?
Jag älskar att du säger "shart" istället för "chart"❤
11:24 is hilarious!
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

Two different boats in this movie, right? For example, stereo is fusion and car radio...
Yes, correct, two different boats
compact yacht is good~!
An hybrid engine would have avoided needing to use the diesel in this demo.
The blackout in the v-birth seems to be unnecessarily leaky.
Why not a main sheet traveler on a raised frame that could then supports a cockpit cover extension to a Bimini?
Why not an induction stove?
Why not remote control?
Not sure how much all that would keep the price down but it may keep the sales down.
Oh well.
There are answers to that but would be too long for a post here. Please enquire at www.hallberg-rassy.com/contact/main-office-in-sweden
Please address below deck windows.
Gorgeous❤❤❤
Great! Very like
Il 34 da crociera più bello che c'è in commercio .
All fine except the furling mainsail.
Did I miss something where was the nav table
What is the build time?
Guess you are really talking about delivery time? Please send an enquiry at www.hallberg-rassy.com/contact/main-office-in-sweden
Tiller steering is standard and wheels are a option? Just something I think is a bit....not cool. IMO
Takk så mykket!
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
What a beauty! ⛵️🔝😍 #in2sailing
Lovely vessel.. Just wish they could have put in a real nav station.
