V 173 (Southern Vertue)

 The drawings were sent to the Underhayes in East Devonport, Tasmania, and construction apparently commenced in November 1975.  Was the boat ever completed and launched?  We do hope so and would be delighted to tell the story of what happened next.

Description

The Underhayes had discussions with the designers in 1975 and ordered a set of drawings for a bermudan cutter-rigged ocean Vertue with alloy spars.  Was she ever completed?
