Adagio is an older boat, ideal to charter for day sailing out of Pikes Bay. She makes a great boat to both live aboard and do your ASA 101 with Northern Breezes Sailing School. In 12 knots of wind she will cruise comfortably between 5 and 6 knots. Equipped with V Berth (kid size) two full length settee berths and a quarter berth, she is comfortable for a couple or a family of 4 looking to explore the near Apostles. For those wishing to anchor out, there are bays around Madeline Island. The bays at Stockton are reachable for those more experienced. A good boat to expand your sailing skills, with the capacity to enjoy sailing to an anchorage.
