Bluewater Sailboat – Adams 13 Metre
The Bluewater Sailboat Adams 13 is one of Joe Adams’ most well-known designs, and it is highly known in Australia. Its 1978 debut is astonishing given how advanced the boat seems even by today’s standards.
With the Metre series of boats, Adams adopted a really novel technique; the Adams 13 is essentially a 36-foot yacht stretched to 43 feet in order to provide a narrow hull that is more spacious below deck and more nimble through the water. The Adams 13 is still largely affordable, which is the best part.
The sailboat is adaptable; she has a long and successful career as an offshore racer, is quick enough for racing around buoys, and has also shown to be a capable, sea-friendly blue water cruising yacht. The majority of them have centerboards, which, when raised, improve downwind performance and advantageously draw just a little bit more than one metre for navigating those narrow harbours. Owners claim that the boat is simple to manage and enjoyable to sail, which is no surprise.

Soon after the debut of her smaller sibling, the Adams 10 Metre, in 1977–1978, the Adams 13 was written. The Adams 10 was the first boat made in the “Adams Metre” range, according to designer Graham Radford, who spent ten years as a partner in Adams Yacht Design. These were performance cruising ships with light displacement and narrow beams.
The Adams 13’s design objectives are said to be a little, long cruise boat. Not a big volume boat, it is long, slender, and has the same amount of space as a 36-footer but is just 43 feet long. For cruising, the centerboard was supposed to give it an extremely shallow draught. From little boats to 56-footers, that sort of centerboard is used on many different designs. It has racked up a lot of sea miles and proven to be highly popular.
It’s interesting to note that Joe Adams spent a lot of time perfecting the design of the Adams 13, a boat he first built for himself. A syndicate of five proprietors, including Adams, paid for the molds. Each contributed one-fifth of the total cost, and after the five boats were constructed, the molds were sold off. Since that time, their ownership has changed several times.
The first vessel, Fanny Adams, was built for a Sydney-based owner who participated in some offshore racing with her. Since then, multiple builders have reportedly constructed 80 boats, with the latest hull to pop off the molds occurring in 2002. Adams Yacht Sales’ Peter Rigby currently owns the molds and is accepting new orders.
The fact that the Bluewater Sailboat Adams 13 has had a successful career as an offshore racer, including numerous entries in the Sydney-Hobart race while being built as a cruising yacht, must be mentioned in order for the history of the boat to be considered comprehensive. She is still competitive now.
The hull is made of sandwiched fiberglass with an Airex foam core. Some of the fiberglass decks used Airex foam, but most used end-grain balsa coring. The structure is encased in fiberglass, the structural floors are installed, and the stub keel is constructed from solid GRP skins with molded lead ballast.
Performance
The Adams 13 is simple to handle, and quite nimble, and its owners say it’s enjoyable to sail. It is stated that because of the sailboat’s smooth motion and sea-friendliness, crossing oceans in her frequently requires less work than in a 36-foot yacht. The boat is simple to drive, which makes sense given its tiny displacement and thin hull. These boats frequently have relatively tiny engines, some of which have just two cylinders and 20 horsepower (hp).
With their centerboard up, they are especially quick off the breeze, which is a strength considering the significant number of miles covered when offshore cruising off the wind. The boat is relatively fragile due to the high center of gravity of the ballast in the stub keel, which reduces windward performance. Despite the boat’s ability to carry a lot of sail area, the reef needs to be put in early.
Although designed as a cutter rig, preferred for long-distance passage-making, she is typically sailed as a sloop with moderate size headsails when sailing inshore. Her optimum point of sail is on a broad reach when she can effectively utilize the majority of the sail area without reefing.

Helsal 3 is a McConaghy built Adams 20m. Solidly built and continually upgraded to allow current owners to race in the Sydney to Hobart and more casually in the Whitsundays most years at either Airlie beach or Hamilton Island race week. In the last 5 years, she has had a brand new, taller, lighter mast and boom incl rigging replaced to improve her light air performance. New 110 hp Yanmar engine which pushes the boat at an impressive 9.5 knots. Also noteworthy is the new Dovel designed fin lead keel which was machined and installed in 2019. Her sail wardrobe has been updated with main, headsails and spinnaker. Recently replaced Raymarine instruments include plotter and autopilot. Helsal also benefits from a large 3000 watt invertor where her galley components happily run the huge freezer (great for long races), kettle, microwave and supposidly the crew favourite sandwich maker. Spacious below deck accomodations with 2 enclosed heads and comfortable berths make this 60 footer an ideal race, training or adventure yacht. Helsal 3 has tasted success in recent years in PHS division. Twice winning Syd to Hob, Airlie beach and Bird island races. Recently in category 1 safety, she is ready to continue her journey, making memories for those that step aboard. Freshly antifouled in August 2024. Recent boat survey available on application for interested buyers. Contact Flagstaff Marine for further details.
