Martin Kamperaug is leading an initiative to restore and race Half Tonner sailboats in Norway, aiming to host a 40-year reunion regatta at Hankø in 2023 to commemorate the 1983 Half Ton World Championship.1:32 The project has gathered 13 boats at Grimshøy, eight of which are currently seaworthy and participate in weekly Sunday races.12:19 The fleet includes notable designs such as a First 30 Evolution, an X-95, and the 1985 world championship winner.11:29 Kamperaug acquires these vessels from across Norway and Sweden, offering them to dedicated sailors at cost—covering only the purchase price and transport—to ensure the boats remain active within the class.13:36 The initiative coordinates through the Facebook group "Halftime Class Norway" and maintains contact with the Halftime Class Europe (HTCE) organization to encourage international participation.2:09 Veterans of the 1983 regatta, including Christen Witt and Lars Engeberg, are actively supporting the project by restoring their own boats and recruiting former crew members.15:21
