Halvorsen Motor Cruiser "RAAF no 02-113"

Presenting: LIANA a Historically Significant Handcrafted Halvorsen

Registered by the Australian Maritime Museum, this revered vessel, with its rich legacy, has served in military capacities and is now ready and willing to serve her new owner. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire this special hand-built vessel that embodies immense history and craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Distinguished Service:

Launched in 1957, this vessel began its life in the service of the Royal Australian Navy, where it was registered under the number 928. It played a crucial role in naval operations, showcasing its resilience and superior design. Later, it was transferred to the Royal Australian Airforce (Reg: 02-113) and took on the demanding air, sea, and rescue roles, saving countless lives and performing with excellence.

After its honorable discharge from military service, the vessel was decommissioned and sold. Its new owners saw the potential to transform this storied craft into a high-speed motor cruiser. The original hull and deck, a testament to Halvorsen's exceptional quality construction, remain intact. The conversion included a new layout for the cabins and flybridge, adapting the vessel into a perfect "Live-Aboard" while preserving its historical integrity.

Dimensions and Specifications:

Length: 19.2m (63ft)
Beam: 4.65m (15.25ft)
Draft: 1.22m (4ft)
Displacement: 39.37 Tonnes
Construction:
The vessel's hull is constructed with triple, double, diagonal planks of Queensland Maple and Mahogany, with canvas between the layers, ensuring durability and strength. The single-chine vee-bottom hull is powered by twin 12V71 GM Detroit 650HP engines, which are currently in use and provide robust performance.

Historical Significance and Future Potential:
This vessel is more than just a boat; it is a floating piece of history. It has witnessed significant moments and played a vital role in Australia's maritime operations. Now, it awaits a new owner who will appreciate its storied past and see its potential for future adventures.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, a seasoned sailor, or someone looking for a unique live-aboard opportunity, this Halvorsen offers endless possibilities.
