Hows is the fit out on this girl! It's a shame the main engine looks a bit tired.

i have been thinking lately about selling my Adams but I can't!

I'm a huge Adams yachts fan.

I did work experience with his office back in the early 80's.

I love just about all his designs....except that.

I'm sure he didn't draw it that way and it goes against all his theories on yacht design.

Sorry, just my humble opinion. :(

That's cool jethrow I was just impressed in the internal fit out. I'm still not convinced my adams shawl draft is a good design ....maybe I'm just getting old. Still yet haven't put mine through a real ocean crossing yet. But leaning towards something like the Cat below!

I was berthed next to an Adams 13 last week, what a knife. Long n lean with lifting keel and rudder. Furling everything. The freeboard wasn't terribly much more than my Seaway 25 so headroom would be the compromise. Still looked pretty sweet.

Very beautiful inside, but I reckon my Tartan would suffer a roll over better.

Nice looking headsail. Could they not find a cheaper crappier anchor? Timber fit out is nice though.

Here's a nice deep draft Adams for you Southace!
As they say - "Everything is for sale at the right price".

Maybe when you're finished cruising you could trade each other it would be closer to home for both of you
