The Adams 10.6 is a seminal Australian cruiser-racer designed by the late Joe Adams, a naval architect whose work is synonymous with the "needle-thin" hull forms that dominated the Southern Hemisphere’s racing circuits in the late 20th century. Released as a more substantial, coastal-capable evolution of the legendary Adams 10 one-design, the 10.6 was famously conceived with events like the Melbourne to Osaka double-handed race in mind. While it shares the high-performance DNA and narrow waterline of its predecessor, the 10.6 incorporates increased freeboard and a more comprehensive deck molding to accommodate the requirements of offshore passage-making.
