There's something truly special about a classic Halvorsen, and Vanessa is no exception. This beautifully presented 1960 Halvorsen 26 is a timeless example of Australian craftsmanship, blending heritage charm with thoughtful modern upgrades.

Lovingly maintained by her current owners, Vanessa has been kept to a high standard both cosmetically and mechanically. She retains all the warmth and character you'd expect from a classic timber cruiser, while benefiting from practical improvements that make her an easy and reliable boat to own.

Mechanically and electrically she's well sorted, featuring a new Kubota diesel engine, upgraded electronics, solar power, and a fresh antifoul completed in February 2026, meaning she's turnkey and ready to cruise.

If you've been searching for a genuine, well kept Halvorsen 26 with the right upgrades in all the right places, Vanessa presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Australian boating history preserved and ready to be enjoyed.
