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.

The MATTHEWS BOAT COMPANY was the brain child of Scott Matthews in 1890 in Bascom, Ohio. He designed and built wooden yachts of distiction that were marketed under rhe name Lozier. By 1906 he had built and launched a 74' double ender named ONWARD. I love Scott's enthusim for yachting. He installed his family of 4 plus 2 guests on Onward and headed out down the Mississippi to do the GREAT LOOP and returned home to Ohio via the Erie Canal some 9000 miles later on her original shake down cruise. That is what I call adventuresome!!!
By 1907 Scott had moved his company to Port Clinton Ohio where they continued to build outstanding yachts wooden yachts a various sizes. In 1965 the decision to move into the fiberglass yachting arena was made and due to the severe competition and the economy, The Matthews Boat Company closed their doors in the early 1970's.
ANDIAMO has a very strongly built hull. She started life with a 7' x 12' solid white oak keel married to hand steamed white oak frames that are 11/4" x 1 7/8" spaced on 8" centers. The frames are actually doubled from the main bulkhead aft to the transom to provide extra stiffnes
Her planking is Philippine mahogany that is 11/8" below the watre line and 1" abbove the water line. She was built with bronze fastners. Her bronze rudders are very strong as well.
BUT, Andiamo has had a major upgrade while in the care of this current custodian. She has had the advantage of having been C-FLEXED. What excatly is C-FLEX one may ask?
The C-FLEX material system and related application technique can accommodate a wide range of bost building needs, from recreational to commercial fishing boats,
C-flex is an excellent solution for preserving the life and character of vintage wooden boats, because it can be attached on a wooden hull to create a stronger and more durable hull structure. The C-Flex is applied to the prepared hull with an Elastomeric Adhesive, which creates a strong but flexible interface between the wood and the exterior fiberglass. The hull is then laminated with additional layers of reinforcements to the desired strength level.
ANDIAMO has also had a rather wonderful deck treatment as well using SPANTEX a very tough waterproofing system.
The combination of both C-FLEX and SPANTEX has ensured her continued life on the water for decades to come,

* Spantex decks over 5/8" marine plywood
* Painted hull sides
