Liberty

Name of vessel:

Boat Type	Liberty
Hull Typology	Vessels with pronounced stern curvature converging at the stern post (LIBERTY type)
Dimensions	LOA: 8-30m, LK/MB:3-4

Unique Features	The bow post is typically slightly concave, angled at 50-60 degrees relative to the horizontal axis of the keel. The stern post is constructed in such a way as to allow the rudder axis to pass through the interior of the vessel. The Liberty type is generally characterized by a narrow hull. The mid-frame of the Liberty vessel features one of the sharpest maximum curvatures among all Greek traditional boat types. The tangent at the point of the keel’s central axis forms an angle of 10-20 degrees with the horizontal plane, while the tangent at the deck level is almost vertical. The vessel lacks pronounced sheer.

Still Constructed	No. The construction of Liberty vessels began predominantly after World War II. The name is directly linked to the famous American Liberty ships, which were mass-produced in the United States to address the European maritime needs during the war.
