Reminiscent of 1920’s Wall Street commuter yachts, Liberty is constructed using Hodgon’s proprietary cold molded wood boat building techniques and combines traditional design with state-of-the-art materials and innovative systems. This 80-foot motor yacht – designed by Bruce King Yacht Design with interior designed by the owner and Allan Walton Design – is powered by a pair of 1,100-hp MAN diesel engines and comfortably cruises at over 25 knots.
"Gazing at Liberty may be enough for some folks, but she really comes alive when you fire up her big diesels."
"It is not her speed that makes Liberty unusual, rather it’s three other factors: Her style (very understated); her quality (unprecedented), and her brute strength (stemming from modern composite construction)."
"Liberty epitomizes the ‘custom’ in custom yachts."
Liberty has a strong hull with a distinct, round transom. The transom alone is a work of art few shipyards in the world could execute well. A hard chine and long chine flats give her the ability to quietly and gracefully glide through the water.
The boat’s private bow cockpit features a hand-crafted mahogany windscreen, similar to the windscreen in the main cockpit and custom Hodgdon engineered hydraulically operated tip out anchor roller assembly.
Every piece of decorative hardware and the portlights on Liberty are custom-cast. Tapering in size as the ports run forward, the portlights are the most unique of these castings. Much of the exterior hardware emulates the “art deco” designed interior.
