About me: My pluralistic background, working across a variety of fields, has given me the perfect knowledge and skills to be the local guide you’re looking for on a sailing tour in Porto. I’ve been sailing the Douro River and the ocean since young adulthood, and there’s nothing I love more than being out on the water. Let me share my passion and expertise with you for an unforgettable experience! About the sailing yacht: The Hallberg-Rassy 94 Kutter is a truly charming motor sailor. Its hull boasts the elegant lines of a traditional fishing boat, paired with a more pronounced keel for enhanced performance. Compared to other Hallberg-Rassy designs from this era, the 94 features a fuller hull, a distinctive canoe stern, and a full keel. The cockpit includes a steering house, adding to its classic appeal. While the sail area is relatively modest for a 31-footer, she sails remarkably well for her type. She tacks effortlessly, even in light breezes, without needing the engine’s assistance. In fact, some Hallberg-Rassy 94s have even crossed the Atlantic! Inside, you’ll find four comfortable berths and plenty of storage space, making her as practical as she is beautiful.
