That is a very nice yacht and she has a big rig on her. Obviously amateur built but done very well.
The tiller steering is the way to go for that yacht. I would probably remove that boxy looking dodger and go for a lower profile hard dodger or have a canvas dodger. I am not fussed on that big gantry on the stern either.
If she is indeed true to Adams design and in as good condition as the photos show, I think it is a bargain at $55,000.
Yes, but not pretty
Looks great
Any more pics?
Thousands!!
Steel Adams 45 set up to live aboard for two & single handed sailing.
A Big Wow from me!

Do you think the 30 HP engine is adequate?
What cruising speed would we get at what amount of fuel per hour?

it is probably a bit light on.
Someone has done the hard yards on this Jarkan! Looks like a good buy to me.

They have probably spent more than the asking price on it.

Fitted out a hard chine Adams 40 with my dad in my teens. I sailed on her for years and she went on to go to Africa and back, circumnavigate Aus and sail the Pacific. I love the Adams 40s and really liked the look of this one when I visited Camden Haven earlier this year. The only niggles for me are she might be light on for headroom with the lower topsides (Adams was a short-@rse who and designed boats accordingly) and I agree with Bundybouy and Cisco the 30 Hp would really just be an auxiliary as the 36Hp on our boat would not get us upwind against anything over 40 knots if there was any sea running. Still looks like a good one though. Bill

Yes,
Thanks Bill,
It will be interesting to see how long it takes to sell.
Probably just needs the right buyer.
A mate's son who worked with Sydney Tall Ships is going thru the inspection, survey process with this classic design. He has already been aboard and says its perfectly dry with no sign of damage to the timber anywhere. He's young and fit (for now) so the ongoing work, esp varnishing shouldn't be a problem for this young marine engineer...here's luck to him. I also suggested he might like the next boat if he wasn't so wedded to the NZ timber hull, similar money. yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/alden-schooner/229425 and yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/roberts-56-ketch-50-ft-lod/199859
A Brazilian couple just bought this boat, it has been standing out in the weather on the hard for about the last twenty years without any love being lavished on it and for a steel boat I think it is in fantastic condition.

Saw these 2 episodes. Going to be great to follow this project.
I have found this one interesting since seeing it built when I was a kid in Port Sorell (Tasmania). She pops up up for sale now and then, and I often think she fits a very specific set of requirements very well (shallow draft, beachability, and easy handling) ... Others not so much.
One of the more aesthetically acceptable Bolger builds I've seen;).

we used to slip her here for a previous owner about 10 years ago sails way better than you would expect though obviously suffers to weather beautifully built

Nice S&S36 has just had a price reduction. Lot of boat for the money!

Not sure whether I like the cork cabin sole etc. Smart fuel gauges and I like the squeeze bulb for priming.

Yes. The belts on that engine look nightmarish.
HI Ramona,
Please explain in more detail.
Do you mean condition, material, design etc?
Yes construction of the hull and deck, could be composite or fibreglass. It would help sell a boat if the ad had a few basics.
Yes. The belts on that engine look nightmarish.
All Golf diesel stuff. Cheap and readily available.

What do you guys reckon of this S&S 34 ? I don't really understand why it has been for sale so long. Looks immaculate, good sail wardrobe, new rig, new engine, etc. Dosent show interior though which instantly means it is Sus to me. Anyone know any history of "Muloka" on the association it doesn't have a page.
Regards,
Mick

Mulloka.

Always looked a very well cared for boat when in Vic.
Raced a number of S/H and Westcoasters with ORCV.

Thanks BananaBender. The only other information I have got about it is it used to be yellow. And there is a model of it at Sandringham yacht club.
Interesting why it hasn't sold yet. Not many other ss34's for sale.
2GM is unlikely to have been new when the boat was built, so the hour meter may be a bit wrong. But they are fairly bullet proof motors. The symptoms sound like the gearbox or saildrive is failing (having been there / done that). Not a big thing to replace, and the parts are still available.
Looks good value if you are prepared to spend another 10-15 on it.

If anyone here follows RAN Sailing on youtube Johan and Malin have just put RAN up for sale the asking price is $79000 US which if you look at the videos represents excellent value considering the work that has been done and what is included.
