Welcome aboard Paikea, my Hallberg-Rassy 310! In this video, I’ll take you on a short room tour – from the deck and cockpit down below to the saloon, galley, and cabins. Along the way, I’ll show you why this boat is so well suited for single-handed sailing – smartly designed, safe, and easy to handle, even when sailing alone. Despite her compact size, the Hallberg-Rassy 310 offers a surprising amount of space: a large, bright saloon, two cabins, and a waterline length of 8.8 meters on a hull just 9.4 meters long. That means great performance, comfort, and stability – all in true Hallberg-Rassy style: solid, elegant, and functional. During the tour, I’ll also show details like the Yanmar diesel beneath the companionway, the clever sheet layout in the cockpit, and my safety equipment – including the automatic lifejacket with an integrated emergency beacon. At the end, you’ll hear the story behind the name Paikea. If you enjoyed the video, I’d really appreciate a 👍 and a subscription – so you won’t miss future passages, tips, and insights into sailing solo aboard my Hallberg-Rassy 310. ⚓ Chapters: 00:25 Introduction, dimensions & specs 03:15 Deck & Cockpit 08:30 Buying Paikea 09:50 Interior & Saloon 13:40 Personal Safety Gear 14:45 Why Paikea is called Paikea 📡 Mentioned in the video: 👉 Ocean Signal rescueME PLB3 – Personal Locator Beacon (Mini EPIRB with AIS) #hallbergrassy #HallbergRassy310 #Sailing #BoatTour #SoloSailing #SailingSolo #YachtLife #SailingYacht #SailboatTour #SafetyAtSea #SailingChannel
