YACHTING PRESS REMARKS:
“On the German Frers-designed HR64 everything is push-button controlled. The cutter-rigged headsails, of course, and also the mainsheet, which leads from a single point attachment abaft the cockpit to a captive system controlled by a tackle and hydraulic ram inside the boom. The vang is hydraulic, even the halyard fine-tunes can be operated by switches at the helm console.
Below, there is a long list of remote-operated gadgets: a huge plasma TV rises out of a longitudinal island in the saloon; each side of the double aft berth can be independently raised and lowered using an iPhone app (a fun way of waking someone up…).
All of which makes the boat wonderful to live on and a joy to sail. And I mean that. I was very sceptical, but when we sailed the boat in gusty conditions – 25 knots swirling off the skerries, and the boat under full sail because the photographer wanted to see her “fully cranked” – I was able to play the mainsheet like a dinghy with just a dab of the in and out buttons.”
