Information on Adams 35 Centre Cockpit

[SV Ladeska]

I've been left scratching my head recently as I search for information on fibreglass constructed Adam's 35 Center Cockpit versions of late 70's - early 80's.

I purchased one a about a year and a half ago with little info and unfortunately, the only other one I have been able to find after much searching is the one in the photo shared below.

I've been able to find some info on the aft cockpit versions and I've seen a couple variations of the 35cc built in steel but only this one and the one I own made as they are, in fibreglass.

The boat closest resembles a cross between a Mottle 33 MKII (which is also a Joe Adams design) and a Westerly 33 (sloop rig, fin keel, center cockpit version) only slightly larger than both and with shallower draft, but longer keel.

Both mine and the one in the pic are cutter rigged with same bowsprit and self tacking inner and tabernacle masts. Both were built in 1979 and both have same interior layout and rigging setup with a slightly different fitout which would be expected of boats that age and mine is without the hard dodger.

I would love to find out any info anyone on the boats or even better, run into either the new or old owner of the one pictured as mine is coming out for refit in the coming months and I'd really appreciate being able to ask a few questions as I beforehand.

Crossing my fingers that someone knows something about these boats.

Thanks for any help provided.
