Martin Kamperhaug, based at Grimsøy Marine, leads a growing revival of the Half Ton class in Norway.0:01 Since 2020, interest in the class has surged, culminating in a 2023 reunion regatta at Hankø with 35 boats and a 2026 event already attracting 40 entries.3:06 Kamperhaug manages a fleet of approximately 12 boats, including the historic 1972 world champion Bess, an Elvstrom 32 currently undergoing restoration.14:04 Restoration projects often involve replacing rotted balsa core in decks and applying new paint schemes based on original RAL codes.8:15 The class is divided into two categories: Classic, which requires original keels and overlapping genoas, and Modern, which allows IRC-optimized modifications like new keel profiles and swept-back rigs.16:36 While optimized boats may point higher on the wind, Kamperhaug notes that skilled crews remain the primary factor in race performance.15:52 Entry-level, functional Half Tonners like the Nessie 94 are available for approximately 100,000 NOK.15:05
