Hi,
Good news, have decided to save the Quincy Adams. I have a bill of sale and am trying to get a title for the boat. (In R.I. you need a title) Hopefully it will be shipped to my place in the next few weeks. Oh, the boat is an Adams Interclub, designed by William Goeller. Nine were built, this one is Hull number 2, built in 1937. I have previously owned its sister ship. These are the last two. Thank you for all your help, this is a great site.

Hello,
The Adams interclub named “Adamant” that I previously owned was sailed out of Mast Head Marina in East Greenwich Rhode Island. I bought the boat in 1980 and sailed it until 1984. This was the year that I had to reframe the boat. It then sat for 10 years in my back yard, then I sold it to a friend of mine. The fellow that I purchased the boat from told me it was a 1937 Adams Interclub built in Quincy Mass. It has the number 36 on the sail, but someone previously told me that only nine were built. Adamant however did not have a cabin on it. It did have its original wood mast and was a great sailing boat. I did hear a rumor that there was another down by Mystic, but did not think much of it until now.
I have, over the past few years restored a few boats. My father in law and I restored a 1956 Webbers cove lobster yacht. It is a 40’ Downeast style boat built up in Maine. After that my son and I restored a 12’ working Whitehall, followed by a 1952 36’ six meter class sloop that my son owned. I have just sold all of the boats and was in the market for a new one. I had not intended to restore another boat but then I came across the wooden boat rescue foundation. I saw Lazy Liz listed as a Quincy Adams and I knew it was an interclub. After looking at it, and speaking with my son, we decided to give it a go and restore it. My other boat that I sold is in the spot that the Adams will go, all I have to do know is wait for good weather.

Hello,
I finally got the Adams interclub to my house a couple of weeks ago. The restoration is coming along. Now, I am ready to start bending frames in. I attached a few photos.
Thanks,
