On February 14 and 15, the Halvorsen 100 Year Reunion is being held at Empire Marina bobbin Head in Sydney.
I know this because as a Marina client I received an email to that effect:
"Dear Valued Clients,

The email doesn`t contain many details but I anticipate a static display of Halvorsen boats. There is an active Halvorsen Club which may be the organizer. The Marina was for many years the site of Halvorsen`s hire and charter operation where Halvorsen cruisers up to 40ft and smaller vessels were hired out. The current Marina, located inside Ku-Ring-Gai National Park,is an extensive redevelopment of what was the old Halvorsen hire base.
It`s worth mentioning that the old Halvorsen factory and site at the Sydney suburb of Putney on the Parramatta River is being redeveloped into high end residential real estate with marina berths. The old factory is being repurposed as a dining and retail space. Quite a challenge, I understood pollution of the whole site was a significant impediment to redevelopment, congratulations are due to the developers.
