Remarks
This vessel is well maintained and is in good condition. The boat has just completed a short handed cruise from Melbourne to Darwin and has cruised around Bass Strait and along the east coast of Australia including a trip to New Caledonia. Adams 36 yachts are a joy to sail, are well regarded sea boats and are accessible for new and experienced sailors.
