Joe Adams 45´for sale by owner (Location: Rebak Marina Langkawi, Malaysia)

Asking price: USD 120.000

Sailing vessel Wodan is a steel, round bilged, aft cockpit, 45 foot bluewater sloop built by Brisbane Shipyards to the design plans of Australian designer Joe Adams. They are renowned vessels for their seaworthiness, sturdiness and safety, fully capable of blue water cruising with excellent sailing performance. Wodan is no exception, designed for maximum safety and comfort while cruising and at dock. Wodan has a full keel with skeg rudder and weighs 22 tons. Many ocean sailors swear by full keels. ( see Appendix 1)

Presenting in exceptional condition for her age, this yacht has a 15 foot beam giving an incredibly spacious, light and airy saloon. She was originally completed in 1989 but never used, as the first owner, a German perfectionist, found he was too busy on his farm to use the boat, he took her home and parked her in his barn. She was rescued in 2004, by the owner of Townsville Shipyard ( Australia ), and had a full professional refit and was relaunched in late 2005. Sold again in 2015 to the third owner she sailed to Thailand where she was again refitted for the owners intention of long term single handed sailing. The fourth owner (current)  acquired the vessel in 2019 and has consistently maintained and upgraded her. With changed plans, Wodan is sadly now on the market for her new owner to safely embark on new sea adventures. 

She has an extensive inventory including a 2019 newly installed 120hp Turbo Yanmar Diesel, an 8kw Fischer Panda Diesel generator, Autopilot, radar, AIS, new 3000 Watt Mastervolt inverter/charger and much more. The vessel was extensively refitted between 2016-2019 in Phuket with a complete new paint job, and extensive update of the electrical, propulsion, electronic and plumbing system. 

Wodan is designed for being self-sufficient for long passages and long periods of time. (Diesel Tank 1000liters, water tank 1000 liters) The 4 lithium-iron batteries can be recharged by 880Watts of solar panels, a 400 Watt wind generator (2020) and by 8kw Diesel generator. The fresh water supply is replenished with an Echotec watermaker, producing up to 120 liters/per hour. She is at home in the tropics as much as in colder climates due to her fully insulated and strong steel construction and excellent ventilation provided by 4 heavy-duty cabin top hatches built to withstand the worst of conditions as well as 4 dorade openings. 

For additional safety and comfort, Wodan has a hard dodger with tempered glass windows and a fully enclosed aft cockpit providing shelter from sun and water.

The interior is warm, comfortable and extremely spacious built with selected varnished timbers. Wodan offers a total of 8 berths. Pro shipwright interior fit-out with triple bunk V-berth forward, 3 additional berths (1 bunk, 1 double berth) in the forward lounge area and a double berth in the main saloon.

Light timber finishes keep the boat feeling bright and modern.
