Introductory on Sailing Anarchy
 |
Sylvana Yachts is proud to introduce the new Andrews 28 Sport Cruiser; a fully trailerable; cruisable, and raceable 28' performance yacht fresh off the drawing boards of noted designed; Alan Andrews. The past decade has been an exciting one for the sport of sailing; boats have become faster, lighter, stronger and most important they have become easier to sail. However lost in this evolution has been comfort. There was once a time when boats were equally as at home on the race course as they were on the cruising grounds. When the delivery was as much fun as the event itself. When sailing with family and friends were always part of the adventure. Many of us grew up on boats like that.
The Andrews 28 represents a return to days gone by. A boat that offers near sportboat performance; and at the same time all of the comfort and convenience features one would expect to cruise your favorite destination. At the same time being fully trailerable the Andrews 28 can open up the possibility of new cruising areas; never before attempted races; and an alternative to boat ownership in regions with limited moorage availability. The Andrews 28 was truly developed and conceived to meet the needs of the active sailor.
To build a boat of this nature requires cutting edge design technology; the best quality infused vinylester resins; premium foam cores that will never rot and carefully engineered construction. The Andrews 28 is a limited production; hand made vessel built to the highest possible standards. The Andrews 28 base boat equipped with a Yanmar diesel saildrive engine and carbon spars run at $ 97,000 CDN.

On April 16-19, 2008, Sylvana Yachts Inc participated in the "Strictly Sail Pacific Boat Show" in Oakland, California.
The Sylvana Yachts Team arrived with the Andrews28 and Rocket22 in-tow from Penticton, British Columbia. Travelling over 2200 miles to and fro, proves that both boats are easily trailable. See pictures below and link to Cruising World video.

On March 5-9 2008 Andrews28 (Hull #1) participated in her first ocean race at the “VARC Opener” hosted by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Sylvana Yachts Inc also took this opportunity to invite Alan Andrews to perform it’s first official “sea trials”. We would like to extend our gratitude to the Vancouver Royal Yacht Club for their hospitality, allowing us to use their facilities and providing us with moorage during our stay. The “sea trials” were successful and Alan Andrews was very satisfied with the final product, approving all aspect of the boat. With some minor adjustments to the rigging and sail plan that were suggested by Alan, the boat will be ready for production. We would also like to send great thanks to Dave Cross from Quantum Sails and Dave Miller from North Sails for their participation in the sea trial process. (click on pics below to enlarge)
