anyone know anything about Carter 30's they can share?
Think she would be a capable coastal cruiser if you got caught out in the rough stuff?

It appears to have been looked after well.
Appealing.

My first timber boat reno.
The was a sliding nav table under the cockpit so navigator was always on the high side of the yacht.
Decided bed was better use and the hf only got used for race skeds twice a year.
Never got wet there through and it was close to antenna base.
Still the original top side paint job from 1995 btw

That's a very nice piece of work!

Coffs race about 1997 I think!!


Scotty Cav (ex Class 40 Round the World winner and mintransat) in the pit and Joshy Walker (sometime superyacht and big boat Hobart crew) trimming.
Both probarly 16 or 17 at the time.
Sold it in 1999.
Should have kept the Wooduck, would have saved me doing up Defiance.

Same mainsail as the picture in the Ad btw

Not worth over $50k

The name Macgregor kills it stone dead for me.
This poor thing sat unloved at Rivergate marina for months about 2 years ago whilst Adrian Seffert auctioneers were trying to flog it off. It looked tired and in need of some love then, I know they struggled to sell/couldn't sell it.
I'd hate to be the seller, the problem being (aside from being a Macgregor) it's a 60'. You'd be pouring endless money into it, and personally I'd want a much nicer boat than that to justify the ongoings.

According to the Wikipedia page on Mac's, I think it's actually a 65' boat, not 60'. Some very concerning anecdotes regarding their build quality on this forum post:

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.

Nice electrical distribution panel.

I can't decide whether I like the look of it or not?
A lot of space inside.

IMO the Adams is not a pretty yacht , but the systems and equipment is extraordinary !! cant remember if the sails were highlighted in the advert though ? ..... steel is strangely appealing to me , even though i know i shouldn't consider it , the price always attracts

I get an amber light when I read 'steel' but I can't see a problem.
I would love a comment from a steel boat owner.

Looks a good buy to me ............................but I own a steel boat!!

You're gonna get the knockers who don't like steel but I feel a lot safer in my steely.
