This multihull beyond fantasy was built by McConaghy Boats back in 2012, commissioned by by Hong Kong tycoon Anthony Marden Antony Marden. Marden has cruised around Southeast Asia. Asia, Marden has had plenty of time to play the the lucky owner of a yacht worth over $20 million. It's time «to say good-bye» to the once beloved Adastra. According to CNN, the vessel for $15 million, but Robb Report has different information, insisting«only» for $12 million. While somewhere, potential buyers are tapping the seller's phone, which is unlikely, we'll take a virtual a virtual tour aboard the true wonder and the pinnacle of engineering.
A trimaran from another planet
Aboard the unusual $12 million Adastra trimaran
Is this what the superyachts of the future will be like?
What's that like? A representative of Shuttleworth design studio in an interview with the same CNN back in 2013 answered this question. The first thing to do is to be economical and environmentally conscious. It is known that Adastra consumes only about 14% of the fuel that traditional yachts with similar specifications require.
Like a UFO, but only cooler.
Externally, Adastra looks like an unidentified flying object sitting on water. At night, the futuristic hull is illuminated in blue and looks absolutely fascinating! No wonder the boat was awarded the prize for «Most Innovative Design» at the World Superyacht Awards.
«Apple» gadget instead of steering wheel.
The control post looks quite traditional, which you can't say about control itself. The gadget-dependent public will be happy to know that a superyacht can be controlled from anywhere via iPhone or iPad. It is also worth mentioning that there is an automatic fuel consumption control system.
We were floating, and that's it.
There are many reasons to part with a yacht and they are all different, but in this case it is impossible not to be surprised. The owner «of a waterflying saucer», do not judge strictly for a pun, for seven years has visited it everywhere where he wanted to go. Don't let «Adastra» stand idly by, do you? Really, let him drive the other one. Or the others.
Domit with the breeze.
It is not allowed to be late for a meeting with a possible new owner as the vessel is equipped with several engines. The main one, installed in the narrow hull of the Caterpillar, has a power of 1 150 hp, and a couple of Yanmar diesel engines in outriggers give another 100 too many «horses» each.
