Reminiscent of 1920’s Wall Street commuter yachts, Liberty is constructed using Hodgdon’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.
The mahogany interior features an inlaid star pattern forward of the gallery, a rosette motif aft, and book-matched panels. This structured geometric patterning and combination of elegance and boldness provide an “art deco” feel. 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.
