Fantastic! Welcome to the Adams club!

Well done!! She looks very tidy and undoubtedly an Adams.

A steely by the looks. Study up on your paint protective systems and see if you can find out exactly the system that has been used on that yacht and for any patch repairs follow that.

The rig should be very sturdy with fore and aft lowers and should be able to handle just about any weather and go FaaaaaasT.

I see inner forestay but not running backstays, solid vang and very handy midship mooring cleats.

Nah mate - I'm in the west at the mo, but she is in Croweater territory until I can sort a few things out at work.

Thanks Cisco,
You have a good eye!
Yep - steel hull, has been very well maintained and the previous owner is (and hopefully will be) very helpful with the transition of ownership and passing on information about painting etc.
Cheers!

Good winds for you

Congratulations!!! it looks like it has been really well maintained
