Second Lieutenant P. Ouborg purchased his set of Vertue plans in January 1978 and at the time was considering building in the U.S.A “where wood was not so readily available”. He asked the Partners if there were plans for either ferro-cement or steel and although Dutch builders Hitters Proost had built two steel Vertues (Penthe Sileia V 61 and Sofong V64) more than a decade before, the Partners answer was unequivocally in the negative.
Rigged with as a masthead sloop this Vertue was lofted with the original sheer line and she features the extended ocean cruising deckhouse that had been developed for V159.
We know very little of this yachts early life, nor her current home port so any news would be most welcome.
