My Boat......post a pic and your specs

Donk the aircon is 8 years old the same age as the later model yachts I was searching for...... Yes I brought a oldee boat but it has been rebuilt and the new stuff is what I seem to be fixing all the time!


Donk maybe not as fast as the newer production boats but who's in a hurry when cruising in comfort. i had just about given up looking for a new boat to live in but this Adams jumped out in front of me and I put a deposit on her after just 2 hours viewing. Was meant to be I think.
I have 370kg of personal processions onboard now......$60 per week rent,phone and insurance bills .....No regrets!

You have to do all that South Ace so you know where every thing is and hows its been connected .So you know if it needs your touch or left alone .
Just like when you put on your clothes that fit you.
My old Dad used to say with his draft horse you have to drop then on the ground and crawl all over them so they know hows Boss. A boat in the ocean I believe is much the same . Its becomes part of you.

Hi Seabird

No idea what percentage it is but it is a good light weather sail up to around 15 knots and the genoa tracks have been extended aft to accomodate it

Yeah, and it needs a tad more halliard tension too.
