Re: Is the Hallberg Rassy 36 the best built, best deigned world cruiser you can buy a recent (used) example of for less than £100K?
Build quality isn't the sole factor, and I would be looking for potential passage times also.
A small boat with a centre cockpit is a design error IMO. Having said that, Magnus Rassy must be well pleased that the HR36 has become his marketing dream. Call him - he loves to chat.
