The show takes place in the harbour of sailing yacht manufacturer Hallberg-Rassy in Ellös and opens its doors to the public again this year with a record attendance. A total of 124 motor and sailing boats will be on display, including many exciting new products. This represents an increase of over 50 per cent compared to last year's fair. In the shipyard of trade fair organiser Hallberg-Rassy, all of the brand's current models can also be viewed during the construction process. The opportunity to experience modern boatbuilding live is one of the special features of the trade fair on Orust.
The Öppet Varv (Open Yard) trade fair traditionally attracts visitors from all over the world and offers a comprehensive overview of the latest trends and developments in boatbuilding. In addition to the boats on display, numerous exhibitors present boat-related services and equipment. For bargain hunters, there are several large outlets with favourable offers on marine clothing and equipment.
The trade fair programme includes various activities for visitors of all ages and experience levels. Live music will provide entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings. A special salmon dinner is planned for Saturday, for which separate registration is required. Especially for sailing beginners and children, the RS Sailing brand offers test rides in dinghies under the guidance of instructors - even for people with no sailing experience. Various food trucks with a wide range of products will be on hand to cater for your physical well-being.
