Hi,
Our vessel Liberty is a custom F/G Halvorsen 57. We have some photo's of her on our page under albums.
She was built in 1990 for a local Sydney Businessman and kept at Halvorsens home at Bobbin head just North of Sydney.
Mark Halvorsen was the project manager on her, And I met with Mark last year to discuss the vessel and he kindly gave me a heap photo's taken during construction, he is a great bloke. Mark said the original owner had the vessel and it's equipment over engineered, for instant we had an issue with the anchor winch and when doing repairs we discovered it was custom built for the boat by Muir's in that the gear box was a one off , geared right down for strength. We keep coming across this as we refurbish the vessel.
There are plenty of Halvorsen,s here in Sydney mostly timber, but a few nice Glass ones. I will dig up some photo's and post here in the near future.
Regards Chris D Liberty
