HABER 660 gaff sloop - is a comfortable sailing yacht which performs equally well on lakes, coastal waters and open sea. Its design is based on that of the HABER 580. We added length and better equipment to make the boat more comfortable. The interior layout ensures comfort unlike other yachts of this size. Despite the small draught, the yacht cannot capsize thanks to the adequate permanent inside ballast and the hull's body. The yacht has been granted the CE (European Certificate) certificate in category C for inshore navigation as well as in category B for offshore navigation. The high and well-glazed superstructure provides for a standing height in the cabin of 1.85 m and an exceptional visibility during navigation. The HABER 660 offers numerous lockers and cupboards. In the forepeak there is a double berth, and the other one, also double, is created in the cabin after lowering the table. There is also a comfortable galley and a separate toilet-room, optional with shower. The HABER 660 enables up to 4 people to live in comfortable conditions.

HABER 800 gaff sloop - After 2 years from its first presentation, the HABER 800 confirmed the success achieved earlier by HABER 660. Characteristically for all HABERs, this one also has a spacious cabin with 5 berths, 1.90m of standing height, a separate forepeak and a toilet-room, comfortable galley and plenty of storage space in the lockers. All this ensures comfort unlike other yachts of this size. Auxiliary propulsion is provided for by a stationary Diesel engine with power ranging from 10 to 25 HP. The easy-to-operate and efficient gaff sails give the yacht very good nautical properties. Thanks to a special solution the mast can be lowered and set upright in about 15 minutes by one person. In the last two years we have devised additional solutions connected to the sails, making navigation in difficult storming conditions on the sea possible. We have also created a set of centerboards allowing a full course stability - the HABER 800C4. There is something that makes the HABER 800's stability profile very unusual - it can right itself from any heel, the 180-degree heel included. This is the so-called tumbler-toy effect.

HABER 800 gaff cutter - In its first version the HABER 800 was a gaff sloop -the HABER 800 gaff sloop. However, during the developmental works there came into being another version with sails typical of a cutter - the HABER 800 gaff cutter. Adding the bowsprit enabled us to use a large genoa with area of ca. 22 m2 for light winds. This together with the basis set of sails results in ca. 55m2 of the sails' area. As a result of this the yacht's performance in light winds was greatly improved, without having to use sails such as gennaker or spinnaker. When equipped with a bow centerboard, the HABER 800C4 gaff cutter is capable of sailing in close hauled course with 3 sails up at the same time, including the fore sail and genoa. Using the bow centerboard with this set of sails when sailing in close reach course is not necessary. With main sail and genoa up, the yacht holds to the close hauled course if the main centerboard is used, but the use of the bow centerboard is not necessary. This type of rigging makes the boat look even more graceful.

HABER 800C4 - We have developed a system of separately operated centerboards that allow you to achieve full directional stability on nearly any course and under any sailing conditions. Simultaneously, we have been working on additional solutions concerning gaff rigging. They increase the HABER 800’s ability to sail in heavy storm conditions on the sea. All these features make HABER 800 a unique, efficient and comfortable yacht with particularly small draught, a yacht which is suitable for longer journeys. It is for cruising on shallow inland waters as well as on the open sea. The HABER 800C4 yacht is being produced also in gaff sloop and gaff cutter version.
