Built to survey and the exacting standards of the Trewartha Brothers yard in Warrnambool Victoria in 1985. She was commissioned by a South Australian Trawlerman as his personal cruising vessel, with no expense spared.
Fibreglass & foam composite construction, 50mm thick below the waterline, 32mm thick above and 25mm deck. A sugar scoop was added later, increasing waterline by a metre and providing excellent access to the vessel.
The hard dodger provides great protection and can be stood upon to stow the main in it's boom bag with Lazy Jacks. A modern Seldon Boom with single line reefing all leading back to the cockpit makes handling an ease. Hydraulic vang controlled from the cockpit and spring loaded so you can not drop the boom if the topper is forgotten. The Windslyce roller cars on the mast make raising the fully battened mainsail a cinch.
She is Cutter rigged, both furling with a composite overlapping Genoa headsail, No 2 & 3 Yankee cut jibs and Asymmetrical spinnaker in a sock. Running backstays and adjustable backstay. Standing Rigging replaced Sep 2023. Running rigging regularly replaced and in excellent condition. Keel stepped mast. Fin keel and skeg hung rudder. She has a solid new rig with a good range of sail options.
Eight Barlow winches with a couple of monster primaries. All two speed. 6 man life raft mounted in front of the mast. SS Davit
With a slight V at entry through to the fore of the keel in the renowned wine glass shape she rides gracefully through the waves. No slamming like modern hulls. A 50% ballast ratio (8 ton dry weight with 4 ton in the keel) allows her to handle the toughest conditions with comfort and ease.
Total Eclipse is beamier than most Adams providing more space below. She is fitted out in Fiji Yaka hard wood still presenting beautifully. A double vee berth forward and two double quarter berths aft. In the saloon lee cloths stowed beneath the cushions provide two secure sea berths. All interior fabrics near new and in excellent condition. Single head with electric toilet and hot water shower. Chart table starboard, facing athwartship. Galley to port with electric and manual water pump. Large chest fridge with additional front opening fridge. Engine driven Eutetic cold plate still operational however a 42 ltr Brass Monkey 12 volt chest fridge/freezer is included as a more reliable option. Stainless steel security screens on top hatches and mesh washboard insert is excellent for ventilation whilst still being secure. Sirocco fan in saloon mounted for optimum coverage. The foam composite hull provides fantastic insulation and quiet cruising. Total Eclipse is a spacious and comfortable yacht.
ENGINE replaced in 2008 with a new 39HP Yanmar 3JH4E. Impeccably maintained with 1,300 hours. Located under a removeable stair box in the companionway with side access and crawl space between aft cabins all the way to the transom. 350 litres of diesel in two tanks beneath the quarter berths provides excellent range at about 2 litres an hour at 6 knots.
