A boat that is well looked after shouldn't spend the year idle. You pay the berth, you do the upkeep, and the trips are few. It isn't about caring for the boat, it's about days: the year only has so many.
If you own a Hallberg-Rassy 40, a swap is a way to keep it sailing while you can't. The network has few boats today, so there is no guarantee of finding another of your make: you propose dates on a listed boat and, if its owner agrees, you swap.
How it works
Sign up and list your boat.
Pick a boat and dates, and propose a swap.
If the other owner agrees, you swap.
No charter fees, no middleman.
Where the club really stands
It's new: 28 members and 3 boats. Join now and you're among the first.
Founding membership is free until 31 Dec 2026. A card is registered and nothing is charged before then; from 1 Jan 2027, €90 a year.
No insurance today. There is no policy in force and no signed agreement. Open: staying aboard at the dock, without sailing, or sailing with a professional skipper. Bareboat is closed.
It's for people who already own a boat: with no boat in the network there is nothing to swap.
