Adagio is a 1980 Tanzer 26' sailboat. It uses a 9.9hp outboard when not being sailed. We use tiller steering to have a true feel of sailing. It has an icebox, two burner stove, Small galley sink and a full operational marine head (toilet).
Adagio has private VBerth and additional sleeping arrangements to accommodate at least four.
Adagio has a displacement of 4300 pounds. Nearly 2000 pounds of this is cast iron keel. This gives great stability to a boat of this size. New electronics were installed in 2021.
Adagio is licensed, insured and meets the Transport Canada Safety requirements.
