| The oldest known surviving Halvorsen built sail boat on the water in Australia. Totally professionally restored and maintained.
Also unique in that an electric motor has been fitted to the vessel giving a speed of 6-7 knots under power.
With spotted gum frames, an iron gum/lead keel and kauri/Oregon hull and decks these well-chosen timbers still look as if she had been built today.
Built by Lars Halvorsen as a Prince Class Yacht and number 7 on his register of boats built and the 5th boat built after 'Sirius' - which allowed him to fund the passage to Australia for his wife and six children.
The restoration of this fine yacht has been meticulous and the addition of a 'silent' motor brings together Australia's legendary boatbuilder with tomorrow's power systems. |
