V 176 Andrio

  • Posted on 16/10/2021

Andrio was built to the standard Vertue lines in grp foam sandwich construction and is a very rare example of this method.  Interestingly, she has an encapsulated lead ballast keel which makes full use of the grp building technique.  The original deck was replaced by the current owner, complete with new coachroof, in 1995.
