Adams 12
"Carina" is an Adams12 designed by Joe Adams. The aft cockpit version (with spray dodger and bimini) was built by the Trewartha Brothers in Victoria. The Adams12 is known and respected as a safe, fast, vice free offshore capable cruising yacht with a remarkably successful racing record. "Carina" is comprehensively equipped and has benefited from a solid programme of upgrades and maintenance. The well laid out cruising interior with 6'2" headroom makes for comfortable cruising. The vessel is setup to be comfortably crewed by a couple or small family. The wheel steering is hydraulic. The helm pedestal pod houses a suite of Raymarine ST6000 instruments including hydraulic autopilot, plotter and radar. She has a fin keel and skeg hung rudder for stability and positive helm control. The new well maintained engine (120 Hours) is an ever reliable 50hp Perkins 4108 driving a 3 blade Hydralign feathering propeller. The electrical systems include a newly installed alternator, 280ah bank of lithium batteries, DC-DC charger, and 480 watt solar panel. This is your opportunity to own a proven cruising yacht (and competitive club racer) to cruise our magnificent coastlines. NOTES: 1 See GENERAL REMARKS for a summary of maintenance and upgrades undertake over the past couple of years. 2. The last insurance survey (Pantaenius) was undertaken in April 2024 and is available for serious enquires. 3. The owner is selling due to ill health and is therefore forced to part with his much loved 'Carina'. Call Dean on
to arrange and inspection.
