HALCYON – Peek Down Below

The 34’ John Gladden designed launch – Halcyon, with a 1980 build date fits into the spirit of tradition category. Built from double diagonal kauri (glassed) and powered by a Cummins 6BTA 250hp turbo that give her a top speed of 16 knots.

A quick review of her tme listing (thanks Ian McDonald) reveals a well fitted out family cruiser.
