V 219 LUANA

Luana is one of several metal-hulled Vertues.  The other three, that we know about so far, all have steel hulls and this makes her a very special boat indeed.  Her teak laid decks and brightwork around the cockpit add to the feeling of strength and refinement: a very special boat indeed.

Description

Luana looks like the real thoroughbred that she is.  Every inch a Vertue with her full rig and low freeboard.

 

 

 

 

Luana has been completed with some beautiful joinery.

 

 

Luana has been built with some very thoughtful joinery detailing.  She doesn’t look like a metal hulled boat.

 

 

 

Luana has a homely feel down below in the saloon.
