Adams 12 Centre Cockpit CAPABLE AND COMFORTABLE PERFORMANCE CRUISER! Just Listed

The Adams 12 is widely regarded as one of Joe Adams' most successful designs, combining timeless lines with the performance, balance, and seaworthiness that made his yachts so sought after. First launched in the 1970s, the design quickly earned a reputation for being both fast and forgiving, with a fine entry, generous beam, and powerful hull shape that delivers excellent stability offshore. The centre cockpit configuration enhances safety and visibility while also creating a practical interior layout with separation between living and sleeping areas, a rare luxury in yachts of this size. Equally capable as a competitive club racer or a comfortable passage-maker, the Adams 12 remains an enduring favourite for sailors who appreciate a yacht that inspires confidence in all conditions. "Tooantoo" is a good example of the design and was built in 1978 by the Trewatha Brothers in VIC. The vessel was purchased by the current owner in 2009 and has since been enjoyed for local cruising in the stunning waters of Southern Tasmania. It has also been significantly upgraded during his ownership including a NEW VOLVO 30HP DIESEL ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2015, NEW 2023 REEFIT FURLER AND FORESTAY, 2009 CHAIN PLATES REPLACED, 2014 12V MUIR ANCHOR WINCH INSTALLED, AND VETUS HOLDING TANK FOR THE TOILET INSTALLED. With its size, versatility, and capability, this is a vessel that ticks all the boxes, and offers a great entry into the world of sailing!

Stepping inside, the quality teak fitout creates a warm and welcoming ambience. The spacious saloon features a generous folding leaf dinette, with seating for 6 in comfort on the neatly upholstered settees. The L-shaped galley is to starboard and is equipped with a generous fridge and freezer, stainless steel sink with H/C pressurised water, a portable cooktop, and excellent storage for extended stays onboard. The accommodation is ideal for cruising with family and friends, or even as a comfortable liveaboard. There is a generous private cabin aft, double v-berth forward, and two single settee berths in the saloon when additional accommodation is required. The package is complete with a private bathroom with an electric toilet with holding tank, H/C shower, and vanity.

Outside, the cockpit is deep, safe, and well set up for easy shorthanded sailing. Most of the lines are led back to the cabin top, the mainsheet and primary winches are in easy reach of the helm, and the furling headsail, make the vessel easily managed by even a novice sailor. Aft is the comfortable princess seat across the stern, providing a great space to take in the views. There is easy access forward around the wide side decks, and the electric anchor winch and Rocna anchor are ideal for easy nights on the hook.

This vessel is powered by the 2015 Volvo D1-30 30HP Diesel Engine with only 590hrs on the clock. This has been serviced annually by the local Volvo dealer, and provides easy and economical cruising at 6 knots.
