Todays assignment was in Cleopatra Marina in Preveza on this Classic Hellberg Rassy 43 Mark ii version. Beautifully built these Bluewater Cruisers. The hull is laid-up in a split mould and the halves are joined at the centreline. The deck moulding goes on before the interior is fitted out which means that what goes in can come out again. If there is a serious problem with anything it can be lifted out through the main hatch.
The boat shown here was fitted with in-mast furling mainsail, one of a number of options for the main. Sailors tend to have strong opinions about mast and boom furlers, but the set-up on this boat, which included powered winches, enables you to sail alone with ease.
These comfortable cruisers are not cheap and don't stay on the market long in this condition!
