Overview
About this vessel
Professionally built by Owen Easton for offshore cruising, Adelade has cruised extensively with her previous owners, and her current owner has added some significant upgrades for off-grid long-distance cruising.
Adelade has a spacious saloon area with a craftsman New Guinea rosewood fitout, two double cabins forward with ensuites and two athwartships double cabins aft. The galley is down in the starboard hull. Electric systems were upgraded to lithium, with 2 new alternators, 1.4kw of solar and a Redback Genset for back up.
Easily handled by one or a couple, this cat's points of difference are that she is shaft driven, her strong aluminium construction makes her almost indestructible, and, with kick-up rudders and dagger boards, she is beachable for a bottom scrub in those remote cruising grounds.
Aluminium is strong, resilient and very forgiving, keeping you safer in the unlikely event of a collision with a floating semi-submerged object at sea.
Her recent upgrades include:
We sold her to the owner, who sailed her from Coomera to Albany via the Bight during COVID. Later, he sailed her to Karratha three times. From Perth to Cairns, she was hauled out for a refit for 12 months in 2025/26. She sailed to Coomera in October 2026. Adelade is presented on the hardstand for your convenience in our sales yard at The Boat Works. She is Australian registered, O. N. 856240, for offshore cruising plans.
