I have a 1962 built Halvo no longer floating. Cost of restoring just too much so we are reluctantly going to have to dismantle it unless someone would like it for a project. Currently on hardstanding in Yacht Club. Twin Chev engines & gearboxes in good nick. Shafts & props good. Topsides in good condition. Only drama is below water. Rotten planks removed & would now need replacing. Has been scraped back to bare timber. Would need some rib repair & refastening. Was the tender for Gretel.:wink:

Now that is a shame. Maybe someone will be able to take it off your hands. Seems a shame to totally dismantle.
Could you post pictures might get someone excited and even in the boat sub forum.

This posting brought back some fond memories of the 60's but i doubt that it the same Halvorsen that a mate and I hired and cruised the Hawksbury and Pittwater with girlfriends (now my wife of 41 yrs). tried to take a short cut across the front of Danger Is and got stuck, had to wait for the tide to change,
memories,memories.......and no, not interested in a restoration project :no:
Hope that someone helps you out...cheers Kerry
