This is the story of Liberty 2, a 1979 DeFever 43 and our efforts to bring her back to her full glory to eventually complete the Great American Loop
Our Current Trawler - 1979 DeFever 43
Liberty 2
Liberty
Liberty was our first trawler after owning two Catalina sailboats. Liberty is a Marine Trader 34DC build in 1978.
Our Sailboats
Before trawlers, we started with Puddle Jumper, a Catalina 22 sailboat. Following that, we upgraded to Daybreak II, a Catalina 27.
