Adastra , or to the stars , as the poet Virgil once said, is not your average superyacht. With its striking spaceship profile, it might look like a concept. Delivered in 2012, this 140-footer has spent nearly a decade exploring the globe.
“We have been lucky enough to spend at least three months on board every year since the build, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and exploring the more traditional cruising grounds of the Mediterranean and Caribbean,” the owner, requesting anonymity, . “ Adastra is a truly stable and safe oceangoing yacht.” It also happens to be one of the most innovative vessels on the water.
British designer John Shuttleworth has won multiple awards, not to mention nonstop praise, for Adastra . What sets the boat apart are its unusual trio of silver hulls that resemble an outrigger canoe. “The structure is a major engineering achievement,” says Shuttleworth in a video describing the design. “Nobody had ever designed or built a boat like that.

Built by McConaghy Boats in Zhuhai, China, the custom design went through structural analysis, while a computer model of Adastra was tested for wave impact, slamming and the potential durability of the outriggers running through big seas. Constructed from e-glass and Kevlar, these hulls are mated to a carbon-fiber superstructure, so the boat weighs only 49 tons, or the equivalent weight of a 60-foot conventional yacht. Since weight reduction was critical to the trimaran’s performance, McConaghy custom-designed all the components—hatches, port lights, ladders and hinges—to be made of carbon fiber. This lightweight design delivers hydrodynamic efficiency, stability and performance, as well as low fuel consumption and low environmental impact. “It uses a seventh of the amount of fuel” of conventional motor yachts its size,” said Shuttleworth.
“Our hope at the time was that the design would represent consciousness of the environmental issues facing the world, while also giving impetus to changing attitudes towards reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption,” Shuttleworth told.

Adastra ’s 3.9-foot draft can get into shallow areas that more traditional yachts can’t access, making her ideal for shallow-water areas like the Bahamas. The yacht also has a custom anchoring system, with three anchors that deploy across the bow, stern and along the main hull.
Despite its eco credentials, Adastra is still very much a luxury yacht. With the main hull flared over the water for additional space, the exterior layout allows guests to enjoy several secluded areas and superb communal spaces. The Scandinavian-influenced interior by Jepsen Designs, is minimalist and dominated by the natural light flowing in from curved, wraparound windows and skylights, highlighting the honey-colored woods and neutral color palette of the open-plan living areas. Adastra was designed for nine guests and up to six crew. The full-beam master cabin is aft, connected directly to the main salon, while two guest cabins and the galley are located near the engine compartment.

Despite being first launched almost 10 years ago, the Adastra yacht continues to be a marvel. Built by renowned Australian shipbuilders, McConaghy Boats , Adastra’s sleek trimaran design has made her one of the world’s most recognizable yachts; in fact, her striking stature saw designer John Shuttleworth receive a coveted Neptune award for most innovative design at the 2013 World Superyacht Awards.
At 139.5ft, Adastra is a comfortable fit in the superyacht category. However, to keep her as light as possible, her designers and builders undertook a structural analysis of all of her major components with virtually every element custom built. Her three hulls are made of e-glass and Kevlar foam, while her superstructure is constructed from carbon fiber with a Nomex core. This combination of ultra-lightweight materials and careful design means that she remains impressively light despite her size, weighing in at 52 tons.
This steadfast commitment to a lightweight design has ensured that the Adastra yacht has remarkably low fuel consumption – so much so, in fact, that she is capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean not once but twice before needing to refuel with a max range of 10,000nm, dramatically reducing her environmental impact. Adastra ’s lightness also has a significant impact on her speed, with the eye-catching yacht boasting a top speed of 22.5 knots, and an all-weather cruising speed of around 17 knots.

The unique vessel was originally custom-built at McConaghy’s Chinese shipyard for Hong Kong-based shipping magnate, Anto Marden, who commissioned Adastra as an explorer yacht for himself and his family. And it appears that she has now served Marden’s purpose – as of 2019, she has been on the lookout for a new owner to continue her adventure.
It is not just Adastra’s exteriors that are a design marvel. One of the big challenges in building this yacht came from trying to fulfill the owner’s brief for a lightweight ship capable of navigating even the most challenging conditions, while still retaining all of the luxury and onboard comforts expected of a yacht of this size.

As we mentioned above, a custom solution was the only way to guarantee this, with a pared-back yet luxurious finish provided by Jepsen Designs – a Hong Kong-based studio with Danish architect Inge Strompf-Jepsen at its helm. Adastra’s uber-stylish interiors combine Scandi minimalism with uncompromising practicality: honey-colored wood, cool neutral tones and smooth curved lines flow throughout, with flashes of beachy-blue completing the aesthetic.

Panoramic views are provided by domed wraparound windows in the main lounge area, with skylights overhead ensuring an abundance of natural light. The design tricks don’t stop there, with the main hull cleverly flared over the water’s edge to secure additional onboard room.

Adastra offers space for up to nine guests: her full-width owner’s cabin sits in a section of the main hull and is accessed via the saloon, with two additional guest cabins (each containing one double and one single bed), as well as room for a five to six-person crew, found forward of the engine room on the lower decks.
As a vessel designed for long journeys around the world, plenty of space to relax on board was essential for Adastra. Her 52.5ft beam allows for a spacious saloon which accommodates a stylishly curved lounge area on a slightly raised section at the fore, as well as a central formal dining area.
From the saloon, stairs at the front of the ship lead to a foredeck with a roomy sunbed, where extra protection from the midday heat can come from a retractable awning. The equally appealing aft deck offers further lounging space, as well as a dining and bar area perfect for al-fresco meals, which can be enjoyed no matter the weather thanks to a hard-top cover.
Adastra’s plentiful outdoor space can be further extended via the garage door, which folds out to create a diving platform. She also offers additional storage capabilities for not one but two tenders, giving her new owner even more scope for on board adventure.

From the very beginning, Adastra was a yacht built for adventure. Although she was initially commissioned for island hopping around Southeast Asia, where her owner has several private islands, she is truly capable of navigating virtually any of the world’s oceans. Under Marden’s ownership, she has seen many a destination, including the sunny coasts of Europe, the shores of the Caribbean, and everywhere in between.
The Adastra yacht also has an exceptionally shallow draft of just 3.9ft, allowing her to venture into bays and harbors that would be completely off-limits to other ships of her size, making her perfect for isolated island areas. And of course, her remarkably low fuel consumption means she can head into the remotest of regions for extended periods without a worry.
Another of Marden’s priorities when commissioning a custom yacht from McConaghy Boats was seaworthiness; a good-looking vessel that couldn’t perform in all conditions wouldn’t cut it. Adastra’s trimaran design makes her impressively stable and comfortable, no matter the weather – Marden has reported heading out into ferocious gales that no other superyacht could handle. However, while she may be able to handle adverse conditions, her multiple sun decks do make agreeable weather the best way to enjoy this magnificent vessel.
Adastra is currently for sale with Burgess Yachts for $10m.

BOAT OF THE WEEK: INSIDE 'ADASTRA', THE BONKERS, RULE-BREAKING TRIMARAN THAT HAS CRISSCROSSED THE GLOBE.
The 140-foot "Adastra"'s triple hulls, light weight and shallow draft gives it exceptional seaworthiness and range. Plus, it looks super cool.
Adastra , or to the stars , as the poet Virgil once said, is not your average superyacht. With its striking spaceship profile, it might look like a concept. Delivered in 2012, this 140-footer has spent nearly a decade exploring the globe.
“We have been lucky enough to spend at least three months on board every year since the build, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and exploring the more traditional cruising grounds of the Mediterranean and Caribbean,” the owner, requesting anonymity, told Robb Report . “Adastra is a truly stable and safe oceangoing yacht.” It also happens to be one of the most innovative vessels on the water.
British designer John Shuttleworth has won multiple awards, not to mention nonstop praise, for Adastra . What sets the boat apart are its unusual trio of silver hulls that resemble an outrigger canoe. “The structure is a major engineering achievement,” says Shuttleworth in a video describing the design. “Nobody had ever designed or built a boat like that.”

“Our hope at the time was that the design would represent consciousness of the environmental issues facing the world, while also giving impetus to changing attitudes towards reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption,” Shuttleworth told Robb Report .
Adastra has weathered 50-knot storms and boasts a vast 10,000-nautical mile range at 10 knots. Powered by a single 1,150 hp Caterpillar C18 engine, the boat’s top speed is 23 knots, with a friendly cruise of 17 knots. Adastra also has two 110-hp Yanmar outrigger engines to power the three onboard generators. For transoceanic crossings, the two 800-gph water makers keep the 730-gal. freshwater tanks full.
Adastra ’s 3.9-foot draft can get into shallow areas that more traditional yachts can’t access, making her ideal for shallow-water areas like the Bahamas. The yacht also has a custom anchoring system, with three anchors that deploy across the bow, stern and along the main hull.
Despite its eco credentials, Adastra is still very much a luxury yacht. With the main hull flared over the water for additional space, the exterior layout allows guests to enjoy several secluded areas and superb communal spaces. The Scandinavian-influenced interior by Jepsen Designs, is minimalist and dominated by the natural light flowing in from curved, wraparound windows and skylights, highlighting the honey-colored woods and neutral color palette of the open-plan living areas. Adastra was designed for nine guests and up to six crew. The full-beam master cabin is aft, connected directly to the main salon, while two guest cabins and the galley are located near the engine compartment.
Adastra ’s 52.5-foot beam features a spacious aft deck with lounges and a sheltered alfresco dining area, while forward of the main salon, guests can relax on the roomy foredeck, with its large sunbed. The yacht’s garage door folds out to create a diving platform.

The beautiful superyacht has an exceptionally low fuel consumption and yet boasts excellent sea keeping qualities and luxurious accommodation.
Adastra’s 16 metre beam creates a spacious saloon area on the main deck which offers superb views through a panoramic window and accommodates a lounge area, dining table, and navigation station. A forward-facing door through the saloon window gives easy access to a large sunbed on the foredeck.
The main helm station, which has seating for two, is positioned in a raised pilot house situated between the aft deck and the saloon area and forms part of the cross beam structure.
The aft deck has a sofa and bar area to port and a dining area to starboard, further aft of this there is space for a 4.9 metre tender and directly below is a garage which can store a 3.1 metre tender. The garage door has been designed to fold out and create a large swim platform.
Below deck, extra space was created by slightly flaring the central hull just above the waterline. This area has been split into two sections with a full-width master cabin located aft with access from the deck saloon, and two further guest cabins, accommodation for the crew, and the galley located forward of the engine compartment.
Adastra offers comfortable accommodation for nine guests in total and up to six crew members.
The vessel has a fully automated fuel management system which includes an Alfa Laval system for cleaning the fuel.
The anchoring system is unique, with three anchors all driven by carbon fibre drum winches run by hydraulics. The primary anchor is a custom 130kg Bruce style anchor that deploys out of the starboard wing. The bow anchor is 80kg and deploys out of the bow with a carbon fibre arm. The third anchor is 60kg which deploys out of the port wing and will be used as a stern anchor.
The yacht’s superstructure is constructed from carbon fibre with Nomex honeycomb core, the hull is Glass/Kevlar foam sandwich and the interior features lightweight oak cabinetry using honeycomb panels. To help reduce weight, virtually every aspect of the boat is custom built. This includes carbon fibre hatches, portlights, ladders and even hinges, which are all built specifically for the vessel.
Adastra takes the power trimaran concept further than has ever been attempted before. The challenge of turning this concept into a viable luxury yacht led us to further research on stability and comfort at sea for this type of craft. Extensive tank testing and radio controlled model tests in waves were carried out to analyze stability and performance. Outrigger height was optimized for ease of motion at sea, and a new outrigger shape was developed to increase stability in waves. We undertook a state-of-the-art structural analysis of all the major components in the yacht in order to achieve the light weight required for very low fuel consumption.
Today, Adastra remains one of the most iconic superyachts on the water.

ADASTRA Yacht – Exquisite Craftsmanship $10M Superyacht
The ADASTRA yacht is a 42.5-meter unique superyacht built by McConaghy Boats for Hong Kong-based shipping baron Anto Marden in Zhu Hai, China.
She was named after the Latin ‘Ad Astra’ meaning “to the stars” which is truly fitting for a superyacht with a design that is ahead of our times.
She was the product of a five-year collaboration between her owner, naval architects/exterior designer John Shuttleworth Design Ltd , interior designer Jepson Designs, and the shipyard which resulted in a masterpiece.
The ADASTRA yacht is a stunning trimaran boat with exceptional seakeeping capabilities, elegant accommodations, and minimal fuel usage.
For these reasons and more, she received the 2013 World Superyacht Award for most innovative design.
ADASTRA yacht interior
Jepsen Designs’ minimalist Scandinavian-inspired design is dominated by natural light streaming in through curving, wraparound windows, and skylights, accentuating the honey-colored timbers and neutral color palette of the open-plan living rooms.

Inside the Insane, Rule-Breaking Trimaran Yacht That Just Hit the Market for $12 Million
After circling the globe since 2012, this spectacular 140-foot superyacht is ready to go again., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

For more than seven years it has spun heads from St. Barts to Bali. Now, the rule-breaking 140-foot power trimaran Adastra is up for sale, and could be yours for a cool $12 million.
This futuristic, ocean-crossing projectile was built back in 2012—at a cost of well over $20 million—for Hong Kong–based shipping magnate Antony Marden to cruise Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

But in those seven years, the custom-built, wave-piercing-hulled superyacht has crossed the Atlantic half a dozen times and taken Marden and his wife island-hopping around the globe.
“She’s been the most remarkable boat. Her seaworthiness is quite amazing. We’ve weathered 50-knot winds crossing both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. She just takes everything in her stride,” Marden tells us.
“She’s also extremely economical. Cruising at 10 knots, we burn just 4.5 gallons an hour. That gives us a range of around 10,000 nautical miles. We recently did St. Maarten to Vigo in Spain and had enough fuel left to head back to the Caribbean.”

Designed by Britain’s Shuttleworth Design and built in China by McConaghy Boats , Adastra was created with a single-minded focus on strength and weight reduction. The hulls are made of a super-strong e-glass/Kevlar foam sandwich, with the deck and superstructure constructed from carbon fiber with a lightweight Nomex honeycomb core. Before fuel and water, it tips the scales at just 52 tonnes.
And it’s quick. Powered by a single 1,150 hp Caterpillar C18 straight-six turbo diesel, Adastra has a top speed of 23 knots with a cruising speed—in pretty much any weather—of 17. For backup, it also has a pair of 110 hp Yanmar diesel engines.
Below decks, Hong Kong–based interior designers Jepsen Design squeezed in accommodations for nine guests and six crew in Adastra ‘s slender main hull.

What kind of reaction does the Jetsons-style trimaran get in port? “She’s a total head-turner,” says Marden. “She’s pretty much the only boat anyone looks at. Everyone stops and takes a photo.”
So why is he selling? Marden tells us he’s done all the global cruising he wants to and feels it’s time to let a new owner enjoy this very special yacht.
“After seven years, we’ve pretty much cruised to all the places we want to cruise. Now she’s just not getting enough use. We have another yacht at home, so it’s time to sell.”
Right now Adastra is moored in Nassau in the Bahamas , and later this month will head to Fort Lauderdale ‘s Seahaven Marina for a showing to prospective buyers on July 25 and 26. If you’re in the market for a one-of-a-kind trimaran, click here .

Boat of the Week: Inside ‘Adastra,’ the Bonkers, Rule-Breaking Trimaran That Has Crisscrossed the Globe
Adastra , or to the stars , as the poet Virgil once said, is not your average superyacht . With its striking spaceship profile, it might look like a concept. Delivered in 2012, this 140-footer has spent nearly a decade exploring the globe.
“We have been lucky enough to spend at least three months on board every year since the build, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and exploring the more traditional cruising grounds of the Mediterranean and Caribbean,” the owner, requesting anonymity, told Robb Report . “ Adastra is a truly stable and safe oceangoing yacht.” It also happens to be one of the most innovative vessels on the water.

British designer John Shuttleworth has won multiple awards, not to mention nonstop praise, for Adastra . What sets the boat apart are its unusual trio of silver hulls that resemble an outrigger canoe. “The structure is a major engineering achievement,” says Shuttleworth in a video describing the design. “Nobody had ever designed or built a boat like that.”

Built by McConaghy Boats in Zhuhai, China, the custom design went through structural analysis, while a computer model of Adastra was tested for wave impact, slamming and the potential durability of the outriggers running through big seas. Constructed from e-glass and Kevlar, these hulls are mated to a carbon-fiber superstructure, so the boat weighs only 49 tons, or the equivalent weight of a 60-foot conventional yacht. Since weight reduction was critical to the trimaran’s performance, McConaghy custom-designed all the components—hatches, port lights, ladders and hinges—to be made of carbon fiber. This lightweight design delivers hydrodynamic efficiency, stability and performance, as well as low fuel consumption and low environmental impact. “It uses a seventh of the amount of fuel” of conventional motor yachts its size,” said Shuttleworth.
“Our hope at the time was that the design would represent consciousness of the environmental issues facing the world, while also giving impetus to changing attitudes towards reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption,” Shuttleworth told Robb Report .
Adastra has weathered 50-knot storms and boasts a vast 10,000-nautical mile range at 10 knots. Powered by a single 1,150 hp Caterpillar C18 engine, the boat’s top speed is 23 knots, with a friendly cruise of 17 knots. Adastra also has two 110-hp Yanmar outrigger engines to power the three onboard generators. For transoceanic crossings, the two 800-gph water makers keep the 730-gal. freshwater tanks full.
Adastra ’s 3.9-foot draft can get into shallow areas that more traditional yachts can’t access, making her ideal for shallow-water areas like the Bahamas. The yacht also has a custom anchoring system, with three anchors that deploy across the bow, stern and along the main hull.
Despite its eco credentials, Adastra is still very much a luxury yacht. With the main hull flared over the water for additional space, the exterior layout allows guests to enjoy several secluded areas and superb communal spaces. The Scandinavian-influenced interior by Jepsen Designs, is minimalist and dominated by the natural light flowing in from curved, wraparound windows and skylights, highlighting the honey-colored woods and neutral color palette of the open-plan living areas. Adastra was designed for nine guests and up to six crew. The full-beam master cabin is aft, connected directly to the main salon, while two guest cabins and the galley are located near the engine compartment.
Adastra ’s 52.5-foot beam features a spacious aft deck with lounges and a sheltered alfresco dining area, while forward of the main salon, guests can relax on the roomy foredeck, with its large sunbed. The yacht’s garage door folds out to create a diving platform.
Adastra is currently listed through Burgess Yachts for $10 million. Here are more images.

This $12 million yacht looks like a spaceship and can cross the Atlantic twice on a single tank — see inside 'Adastra'
- A sleek, lavish megayacht fit for a Bond villain, called "Adastra," has hit the market for $12 million.
- Thanks to its efficient shape and lightweight construction, the yacht can cross the Atlantic twice without refueling and boasts a total range of around 11,500 miles.
- Adastra has a master bedroom, two guest cabins, and room for six crew members.

Some people can't simply settle for a regular, run-of-the-mill superyacht like all the other millionaires and billionaires — they need something a bit flashier to set them apart from the crowd.
For those people, there are yachts like Adastra , a sleek, custom-built trimaran that's currently on the market for a cool $12 million.
The extravagant vessel — which looks less like a yacht and more like something out of "Star Wars" — is built for exploration, according to Burgess Yachts , which has the boat listed for sale. Due to its streamlined shape and lightweight construction, Adastra can travel across the Atlantic twice over without needing to refuel. Plus, Adastra's unique design means it can venture into shallow harbors and get up close to islands, unlike most traditional yachts.
But this multimillion-dollar yacht is built for pleasure, too — it sports multiple sunbathing areas, a diving platform, a lavish main room, three cabins for guests, and space for six crew members.
See inside Adastra:
Adastra, a spaceship-like megayacht fit for a Bond villain, has hit the market for $12 million.
Commissioned in 2012 by shipping tycoon Anto Marden at a cost of at least $20 million, according to Robb Report, the trimaran yacht was built to cover vast distances and cross oceans.
Source: Robb Report
Thanks to its efficient shape, lightweight construction, and 15,000-liter fuel capacity, Adastra boasts a range of 10,000 nautical miles, or roughly 11,500 miles.
That means the 140-foot ship can cross the Atlantic twice over without having to refuel, and its owner has done just that, he told Robb Report.
Plus, the yacht sits less than four feet below the water line, so it can venture into shallow harbors where traditional yachts can't.
After spending several years cruising the globe aboard Adastra, Marden is ready to sell the head-turning vessel and give more attention to his other yacht, he told Robb Report.
To keep passengers comfortable on long journeys, Adastra is every bit as luxurious as it is capable.
Inside, there's a main living space with a wraparound lounge area ...
... and panoramic windows.
The yacht features lots of custom materials — including lightweight oak cabinetry — to decrease weight and improve fuel efficiency.
Behind the lounge, there's a full dining area ...
... complete with a kidney-shaped wood table and a pair of skylights.
Toward the back of the interior, there's a sofa and a bar area.
Below deck, there's a master suite that spans the full width of the hull.
The master bedroom has a private full bath and desk.
In total, Adastra sleeps up to nine guests ...
... along with six crew members.
There's a second full bathroom below deck as well.
The helm station has seating for two, and is raised up above the rest of the yacht.
On the aft deck, there's teak flooring and a couple of lounge areas ...
... including a full dining setup for meals outside.
The back of Adastra sports a large diving platform and has room for two "tenders," smaller boats for recreation and for getting to and from port.
A sliding door at the front of the main saloon gives way to a covered lounging area on the bow.
Plus, there's a tanning area with bean bags for catching some rays. If all that sounds appealing and you've got a spare eight figures sitting around, this may be the yacht for you.

Superyacht Adastra
42.5m ocean explorer trimaran.
On winning the 2013 Showboats award for naval architecture, Boat International stated. "this yacht will have the best performance in the most sea states of all those presented" . To find out more about the award winning naval architecture used in these designs read the article "Adastra - The search for a seakindly fuel efficient vessel". Read more.
Her slender hulls and streamlined exterior allow her to travel faster in the open ocean and at 17 knots she has a 4,000nm range so can comfortably cross both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at hi-speed. Measurements taken during the sea trials show that her fuel consumption at 10.5 knots is as low as 17 litres per hour when carrying 10% fuel and water. At cruising load (20 tonnes fuel and water) she uses just 25 litres per hour therefore on delivery trips her range is 10,000nm starting with 30,000 litres of fuel.
Adastra takes the power trimaran concept further than has ever been attempted before, previous vessels like Earthrace and Cable and Wireless were stripped out record breaking machines. The challenge of turning this concept into a viable luxury yacht has led us to further research and develop new thinking on stability and comfort at sea for this type of craft. Extensive tank testing and radio controlled model tests in waves have been carried out to analyse stability and performance. Outrigger height has been optimised for ease of motion at sea, and a new outrigger shape has been developed to increase stability in waves.
We have undertaken state of the art structural analysis of all the major components in the yacht in order to achieve the light weight required for very low fuel consumption. The deck and superstructure is constructed from carbon fibre with Nomex honeycomb core, the hull is glass/kevlar foam sandwich and the interior is lightweight oak cabinetry using honeycomb panels. To help reduce weight further, virtually every aspect of the boat is custom built. This includes carbon fibre hatches, toilets, portlights and ladders, which are all built specifically for the vessel.
Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics above the water line were carefully considered as we developed the overall exterior shape and we kept the boat streamlined both for air and water passing over the structure. The smooth seamless, unbroken surfaces also help to reduce weight as the outer-skin forms part of the structure to absorb torsional loads.

Exterior Deck
Adastra's 16 metre beam creates a spacious saloon area on the main deck which offers superb views through a panoramic window and accommodates a lounge area, dining table and navigation station.
Extra space has been created below deck by slightly flaring the central hull just above the waterline. This area has been split into two sections with a full-width master cabin located aft with access from the deck saloon, and two further guest cabins, accommodation for the crew, and the galley located forward of the engine compartment. Adastra offers comfortable accommodation for nine guests and up to six crew members.
Wheelhouse Deck
The main helm station, which has seating for two, is positioned in a raised pilot house situated between the aft deck and the saloon area and forms part of the cross beam structure.
The vessel's profile has been kept low to reduce the vertical centre of gravity and improve stabilty in waves. The overall shape has been kept streamlined to optimise aerodynamics and hydrodynamics above the water line and the smooth unbroken surfaces help to reduce weight as the outer-skin forms part of the structure to absorb torsional loads.

ADASTRA for sale
A cutting-edge trimaran delivered in 2012 by McConaghy Yachts for an experienced yacht owner, ADASTRA is designed for exploration and can take you around the world. Exceptionally fuel efficient, she can cross the Atlantic twice before needing to refuel and has a transpacific range of 10,000nm. Her shape is designed for efficiency, stability and performance, and she performs very highly in all three.
Built for adventuring, a shallow draft of 1.2m (3.9ft) means the vessel can explore a wider range of harbours and islands than larger, more traditional yachts. A 16m beam offers a cleverly designed and light-filled interior that feels spacious, with spectacular views through the panoramic windows. The foredeck has a large area for sunbathing, and the artfully designed garage door folds out to form a large diving platform.
Below deck, extra space has been created by flaring the central hull directly above the waterline, housing a full-beam master cabin and two further guest cabins, as well as crew accommodation. ADASTRA can welcome nine guests and up to six crew members.
The hulls of the yacht are formed from e-glass/Kevlar foam sandwich, with the deck and superstructure made of carbon fibre and Nomex honeycomb core. This makes ADASTRA incredibly lightweight, weighing just 49 tonnes before water and fuel. Almost all elements of the craft are custom built, including carbon fibre ladders, hatches and portlights. A unique anchoring system means all three of her anchors are driven by carbon fibre drum winches operated by hydraulics.
