Andiamo is a Davidson 55' racing yacht designed by 2000 Team New Zealand's Chief Designer Laurie Davidson in 1985.


 
Andiamo excels in all wind conditions & points of sail
Andiamo is constructed of Kevlar and fibreglass for strength and reduced weight
Andiamo is a strong, powerful and stable boat that comes alive as the wind becomes stronger.
Andiamo is a very enjoyable and challenging boat to sail, with plenty of speed to keep her more than competitive for many seasons to come due to the ageless nature of her design pedigree
