What this video covers

A two-day late-October sail test of the new Hallberg-Rassy 372 covers both sailing performance and live-aboard qualities in varied autumn conditions off the Swedish west coast, including a run from Smøgen to Elløs at seven knots in 5–6 m/s of wind.10:17 Under sail at 7 m/s the boat tracks at 6–6.5 knots on a beat with minimal weather helm, precise steering, and light helm load — described as close to a regatta boat in feel.7:15 Below decks, the 37-footer's interior is compared repeatedly to a 40-footer: a large saloon with two armchairs (a nearly 100,000-kroner upgrade over the standard bench), a chart table repositioned as a working desk suited to Starlink-enabled offshore work, and an island bed in the forward cabin that allows side entry — unusual in a 37-foot boat.18:56 The engine is mounted reversed 180 degrees, driving a saildrive, with dual alternators over 100 amps, separate AGM and lithium battery banks, and a dedicated technical compartment aft housing a bow thruster and space for a watermaker.4:05 The aft cabin, at 1.20 meters wide, is identified as the boat's weakest point for two adults.16:15 A second hull — the mahogany-interior standard version destined for Germany — is compared directly against the oak-and-armchair configuration tested under sail.18:07
