Malua - an Adams Bluewater

World Cruiser

This Adams Bluewater 42 has cruised the world, been rejuvenated on its return, and is ready to set sail into the sunrise tomorrow.  Constructed and approved into 2C survey (2004) it has a unique layout with an exceptional fit-out and a best-in-class inventory.  It will suit a single sailor or a couple to cruise the Australian coast or to return to distant international shores.
My last cruise was a short trip to New Caledonia and Fiji in June to November 2018 to get away from the cold of the east coast.  As usual I sailed alone but met friends at the destination. Earlier in that year the family cruised Tasmania but even that was cold.
Our family have decided to change course and get a smaller vessel or return to France to complete the passage to Paris.

Key Features

Sail to distant shore or just up and down the coast Malua will look after you in all conditions.  I built her to just do that and she has proven her worth.  You can sail her single handed, with just one other or with a full crew.  North Sails Sydney provided a full set of sails last season to replace the original set.  The sail set up for reefing, is single-line furling main, Profurl genoa and staysail operated from the cockpit to an electric winch.  A large full spinnaker and reacher both with snuffing sock completes the sail wardrobe. All sail are operated from the cockpit from electric winches.  Yes a one-person operation.

Internally Malua is spacious with portlights that open to give cross ventilation in the tropics.  All bunks have European style inner spring mattresses and lea cloths.  The shower is engine heated while the toilet is like in an aircraft vacuum suction - so one press and into the holding tank.
