AUSTRALIAN BOAT RESTORATION INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT First Video - Halvorsen 1974, 70ft Classic.

Welcome to Video #1 of an exciting long-term project — the full restoration of a 1974 Halvorsen 70ft Australian classic built 40plus years ago in Sydney. This weekly video series began in the third year of the teardown and rebuild, so many of the early episodes combine retrospective photos and footage with current, “live” updates as the project progresses. It is best to really watch these in order from first to last - We hope you'll enjoy and learn so much. Eventually to be relaunched as VAGABOND, this vessel is undergoing a complete strip-down and rebuild to superyacht standards. Originally built in Sydney in 1974, her design reflected the era — strong, functional, and distinctly commercial in appearance. Now, she’s evolving into something truly special: a vessel that blends timeless classic character with modern luxury and craftsmanship including a very special profle redesign. Leading the transformation is Alex Scholz, Project Manager and owner of All Marine Services here in Western Australia, alongside his skilled team of shipwrights. With years of experience behind them, they are taking on the challenge of bringing this classic back to life — stronger, more refined, and built to last for decades to come. The owner, a lover of the fine art of classics has given Alex and his team the challenge to bring this beautifull vessel into a new era as a SUPRYACHT that will live for many many years on Sydney Harbour and tributries. Follow along as we take you behind the scenes of the plans, the process, and the progress of this incredible rebuild. We hope you enjoy the journey — and don’t forget to like and subscribe to stay with us every step of the way. #BoatRestoration #MarineRestoration #AllMarineServices #BoatBuilding #FiberglassWork #CustomBoat #Flybridge #BoatLife #TeakWork #BoatProjects #RestorationProject #BoatRepair #TargaArch #DeckWork #Woodworking #MarineFabrication #boatrepairs #restoringtimberboat #installinganewteakdeckonaboat #paintingaboat #varnishingteakonaboat #boatrestoration #halvorsen70restoration #halvorsen #timberclassic #shipwright #marinemaintenance #boatrepairs #marineelectrical
