The Liberty 458 is a cutter-rigged sailboat, built from 1981 to the present, featuring a fin keel with a rudder on a skeg. Designed by Peter Hoyt and D. Peterson, it is an extended version of the PETERSON 44 hull design with a different deck and coach roof, displacing 14,061 kg with a 14.0 m LOA. Aboard *Living For Sail*'s 1989 Liberty 458, *Antidote*, the crew undertook a comprehensive restoration in their Pacific Northwest driveway, including replacing water-damaged balsa and plywood deck core with Divinycell PVC foam, Kusa 26-pound foam boards, and G10 blocks, using vacuum bagging for bonding.0:12 They also rebuilt a Yanmar 3GM30 marine diesel engine after a damaged crankshaft keyway, machining a custom stepped key to fit the enlarged slot.0:03 The crew converted the aft cabin's queen-sized berth into an 80-by-80-inch king-sized platform, removing cabinetry and planning for storage solutions like full-extension drawer slides.12:08 Structural repairs included vacuum-bagging the transom to reduce moisture, fabricating G10 backing plates for bulwark stanchions using 3D-printed prototypes, and replacing the cutlass bearing.0:44
