He is the artist of the family. Like two centuries of Alburys before him, Andy works wood, carving model boats, furniture,and a legacy. His family has been building boats on Man-O-War Cay since the 1800s.

Some companies build 30 boats a month, the Albury Brothers, they build 8 for the entire year. When two centuries of family legacy is on the line, you pay attention to every crease and curve.

For 65 years, they’ve perfected their craft. While the Albury men were off building boats, the Albury women were weaving handbags. Their fabric of choice, you ask? Boat sail material. Made to last like the Albury name on Man-O-War Cay, these colourful bags are more than fashion statements; they’re heirlooms.
