Sydney Hobart: Halvorsen legacy continues through Solveig

The historic Halvorsen 36, Solveig, was the final boat to finish in the 2021 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

Owner Annie Lawrence and skipper John Whitfeld were greeted at the dock by some family members of Magnus Halvorsen, who raced the boat to line honours and overall wins in the 1950s, with his brother Trygve. 71 years after being built, this classic boat continues to be an indelible part of this great race.
