How well does a Hallberg Rassy 34 sail?

[Anita]

We're thinking about buying a 1991 Hallberg Rassy 34 and would like to know more about how she sails - how close she sails to the wind, what she's like sailing up/down wind, how well she deals with rough seas etc. Any information greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There were a few in the Round the Island race last year. You can pick up a spreadsheet of results and compare the HR34 with other boats.

There were two in our group and we beat them easily on the water. This was on a day when I would have thought the conditions suited this type of boat.
