Described by Boat International as “one of the world’s most amazing super yachts, that could spell the future for efficient long range cruising”, the striking 42.5m Trimaran Adastra certainly turned a few heads at its launching ceremony on the 11th of April 2012 in China for Hong Kong clients Anto and Elaine Marden.
