Overview

On AUGUST 19, 1961 Mr. Alden Sypher of Washinton DC was signing a contract for a wonderful new MATTHEWS 42' DOUBLE CABIN MOTORYACHT.  His new custom built yacht (24033) was ordered with the largerest engines possible at the time, the GM 6V53 engines that were pushing 185 hp.  Planning, designing, customizing and updating over the next 9 months resulted in a magnificent custom mahogany motor yacht named ANDIAMO. Mr. Sypher paid $623,791 in todays money for his extraordinary new yacht.   ANDIAMO graced the waters of the Chesapeake and the Eastern seaboard with the Sypher family for 3 years before being sold to her next fastidious owner in 1965.  Her current owner who is even more fastidious than the first one is owner number 7. ANDIAMO has always proudly carried her original name from launch day until today.  The current custodian has cherished and lavished love and money on her since 1999. During their custodianship, the sellers have maintained her in impeccable condition and to ensure her longevity she has been professionally fiberglassed and a custom aft deck top was added.  She has proudly taken awards at a variety of classic boat shows and will continue to be show worthy for the next custodian.  ANDIAMO WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT THE BILLY CREEL MEMORIAL GULF COAST WOODEN & CLASSIC BOAT SHOW MAY17 AND 18TH. COME SEE THIS EXQUISTE EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN MARITIME HISTORY.

IT HAS BEEN REQUESTED THAT SHE CONTINUE HER REIGN AS  QUEEN OF THE FLEET WIH HER ORIGINAL LAUNCH NAME OF ANDIAMO.
