1973 Halvorsen 42 - Classic Elegance with Modern Upgrades

Step aboard this beautifully restored 1973 Halvorsen 42, a vessel that represents the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern performance. This iconic cruiser, known for its legendary status in the yachting community, has been meticulously refitted to ensure it provides all the comforts and reliability of a contemporary vessel, while retaining its classic charm. 

Key Features:

    o    The Halvorsen 42 was launched in 1973 and has since become a symbol of quality and elegance in the marine world. With Norwegian origins and a storied history of manufacturing, the Halvorsen brand has left an indelible mark on the boating community in Australia and beyond. 
    o    In 2019, the vessel underwent a comprehensive refit, transforming it into a modern cruiser while preserving its classic appeal. This included the installation of twin Nanni T4.230 turbo diesel engines, providing 230HP each, ensuring both reliability and superior performance. These engines have only 200 hours on them and deliver a smooth, quiet ride with impressive fuel efficiency. 
    o    The original Cummins engines were replaced with the Nanni diesels, enhancing the vessel's horsepower and overall cruising experience. With a cruising speed of 8.5 knots and a top speed close to 20 knots, the boat offers versatility whether you're out for a leisurely cruise or need to cover more distance quickly. 
    o    The refit also included the addition of a new Nanni 8.5 kVA generator, updated exhaust systems, and completely reworked engine bays, making this Halvorsen not only powerful but also incredibly efficient. 
    o    The vessel's interior has been thoughtfully restored and updated, featuring new woollen carpets, a redesigned modern dashboard, and a complete rewire of the electrical systems with energy-efficient LED lighting throughout. 
    o    The exterior has not been overlooked, with all teak, glass, and woodwork restored to their former glory. The hull was sanded back, repainted, and given a fresh anti-foul, ensuring she looks as good as she performs. A new set of full navy covers were custom made, adding a touch of style and practicality. 
    o    Equipped with the latest Raymarine chart plotter and autopilot systems, this Halvorsen is ready for both short and long-distance cruising. The vessel's navigation and communication systems have been thoroughly modernised to meet today's standards, ensuring safe and efficient passage. 
    o    The spacious salon is designed for comfort, with plush seating, panoramic views, and a cozy dining area. The galley is well-appointed with modern appliances, including an upgraded refrigeration system, ensuring you have everything you need for extended stays on board. 
    o    The boat's quiet operation, even at cruising speed, makes for a relaxing experience for all aboard, whether in the salon or on the flybridge. 
    o    The Sirocco hard-bottom inflatable tender with a 15 HP outboard, perfect for shore excursions or exploring quiet coves.
