Restoration of a Hallberg Rassy 352. Wanda is a 1989 Hallberg-Rassy 352, which has spent the last few years on the hard in the Caribbean. She suffered significant storm damage during hurricane Gonzalo and requires some structural repairs as well as an overall refit. I have brought her over to the UK to begin this work.
