The World's Most Beautiful Trimaran, The Adastra Superyacht
The futuristic $14.5 million luxury trimaran yacht Adastra has turned heads during its unveiling ceremony in China. It took five years to plan and build and has been described by boating websites such as Boating International as one of the "world’s most amazing superyachts". At 42m-long and 16m-wide, the fuel-efficient boat weighs in at 52 tonnes.
It has a maximum speed of 22.5 knots and has a range of 4000 nautical miles at 17 knots – which is enough for a trip from the UK to New York. The vessel, designed by John Shuttleworth Yacht Designs and built by McConaghy Boats in Zhu Ha, China, can even be controlled with an Apple iPad within a 50m range

The Superstructure is carbon fibre with Nomex honeycomb core, the hull is Glass/Kevlar foam sandwich and the interior is light weight 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.
Weighing in at 52 tons, the vessel has a maximum speed of 22.5 knots and a range of 4000 nautical miles. She can also be controlled from an iPad within a 50-metre range.
