ADAMS 438 AUSTRALIAN REGISTERED EXCEPTIONAL STEEL CRUISER  

This exceptional blue water cruiser was designed by Joe Adams and the builder/first owner. A small number of these fine yachts were made with this being one of the best examples. This yacht is capable of taking you anywhere your seafaring imagination can take you. The fitout is extrodinary. The quality of the workmanship and the materials is first class. Although she can accomodate five, Corazon was designed for a couple to enjoy many years of live-a-board cruising. The aft cabin is large, comfortable and simply stunning. The rest of this well maintained yacht is just superb.
