2002 85′ Yachting Developments, New Zealand Performance Cruiser now for sale
The design brief for ADJUTOR called for a proper world voyaging performance sailing yacht that can be easily handled by a crew of three. With her carbon 4 spreader mast by Southern Spars, Park Avenue boom, Harken hydraulic furling headsail and self-tacking staysail, hydraulic winches and extremely efficient deck layout, the yacht offers exhilarating performance with minimal effort.
ADJUTOR was the Patron Saint of Yachtsmen, an apt name for this well proven performance world cruising yacht. In her design and construction, all efforts were put forward to enhance the yacht’s comfort, performance and ease of handling. In this context, it is important to note that performance means not only pure speed, but the ease with which a yacht maintains that speed and particularly, the comfort aboard when voyaging.
A tremendous amount of effort was expended in the design and construction of ADJUTOR in sound attenuation, not only keeping machinery sounds to a minimum, but even to the extent of reducing wave slap at anchor. Her hull shape minimizes the slamming that occurs all too frequently when driving a flat hulled racer upwind in a seaway.
Even her furniture was custom designed to live comfortably at any attitude of heel when underway. Indeed, this is a design that was created for living comfortably in the offshore environment. She also lives comfortably – and turns heads with her remarkably attractive profile – in every port of call.
