McConaghy Adastra

- |By JARONE ASHKENAZI

A 140’ Trimaran

With over 50 years building some of the world’s best and most luxurious racing or performanc­e luxury yachts, McConaghy introduces the Adastra 140-foot, designed by John Shuttlewor­th. Launched in and built-in McConaghy'S Zhuhai Facility in 2012, the long-range ocean voyaging yacht, winner of The Worlds Superyacht Awards Winner in 2013, is up for sale again for $12 million.

The futuristic-looking spaceship on the water was built for a sophistica­ted ocean voyaging family providing a level of craft and style unforeseen prior. Following numerous trips across the Atlantic and many other voyages, the custom-built low fuel-consumptio­n wave-piercing-hulled superyacht is ready for its next owner.

Adastra features a 16-meter beam, 1.12-meter draft, and displaceme­nt of 49 tons while able to hold nine guests with five to six crew members on board. Powered by a 1,150 hp Caterpilla­r C18 straight-six turbo diesel and a backup pair of 110 hp Yanmar diesel engines, it has a max speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed between 16 and 17 knots. At cruising speed, the luxury vessel is able to cover 4,000 miles.

Created for both strength and weight reduction – Superstruc­ture is carbon fiber with Nomex honeycomb core, the hull is Glass/ Kevlar foam sandwich and the interior is light-weight oak cabinetry using honeycomb panels – it also provides the level of sophistica­tion and comfort expected for a yacht of this class.

Its beam creates a spacious saloon on the main deck through a panoramic window with a lounge, dining table and its navigation system. To access the large sunbed on the foredeck, the forward-facing doors allows

for max relaxation on the sea. On the aft deck, the dining area is to starboard while a sofa and bar to port.

The aft section also houses the full-width owner’s suite designed by Hong Kong–based interior designers Jepsen Design. Further design in the interior of this luxury yacht includes curved windows and custom built-in furniture to match the curved ceilings. Light-colored wood is matched perfectly with the white furniture and ceilings, the result of more than five years of design with the previous owners

Prospectiv­e buyers will be able to get a glimpse of this one-of-a-kind trimaran on July 25 and 26 at Fort Lauderdale’s Seahaven Marina. For more informatio­n click here.
