Adams 28
The Adams 28 was designed in 1985 by Joe Adams assisted by Graham Radford. This boat was one of the last designs produced by Joe before he retired. It was produced as the smallest practical yacht in which two people could cruise the world in reasonable comfort. This well designed yacht was built by a professional boat builder for personal use.
Indigo was built in December 1991 and launched in 1994. She was built primarily as a coastal cruiser, with the secondary function of weekend club racing. It is a well thought out yacht that has cruised over 20,000 miles on the Queensland coast. When configured as a masthead sloop with a sail area displacement ratio of 18.4, she also proved to be a very fast and efficient club racer, both in harbour and offshore.
She is a very safe and fast yacht in good condition.
I'm sure on looking at her you'll fall in love with her as we did.
Only selling due to ill-health.
She is priced to sell.
