| Overview | You stand in the narrow walk-through that made the Hallberg-Rassy 352 a yard sensation in 1978. | Oiled teak, the familiar Hallberg-Rassy HR 36 name, a newer plotter - and you already want to believe the boat is ready for July. |
| Typical issues | Q: Which Hallberg-Rassy 352 years and hull counts should I verify first? A: Yard production is 1978–1991 with 802 hulls (Christoph Rassy / Olle Enderlein). Reject catalogue copy that still prints 1977–1989 or dims 10.7×3.35 m at about 5.8 t. Confirm plate identity on the hardstand before you negotiate. Q: How serious is the original mild-steel fuel tank? A: The tank sits deep in the bilge. | Q: Is the HR 36 name in the ad headline enough? A: No. Look at how the stern is built in the photos and whether a hull number is listed; do not trust a length figure alone. Length in the headline is marketing shorthand, not a series proof. Q: Does osmosis risk remain? A: Osmosis is moisture that lifts blisters under the outer plastic skin. |
