ADASTRA WINS 3 SHOWBOATS DESIGN 2013 AWARDS

Shuttleworth Design is delighted to announce that Superyacht Adastra, the 42.5m power trimaran received awards in three categories at the 2013 ShowBoats Design Awards.

• Exterior Design and Styling - Judges' Commendation
• Naval Architecture - Winner
• Newcomer of the Year - Winner

John and Orion proudly accepted the awards at the prize giving ceremony, held at the Monaco Opera House on June 21, 2013.

The judges gave the nod to Adastra for her "clean sheet of paper approach" to problem-solving, and noted that her tank tests, as well as the physical evidence provided by designs of similar theory indicate "this yacht will have the best performance in the most sea states of all those presented".

ADASTRA NOMINATED FOR THE WORLD SUPERYACHT AWARDS

The groundbreaking tri hulled super yacht Adastra was launched by McConaghy Boats in April 2012. Shortly after launching and commissioning Adastra left Hong Kong for extended cruising throughout Southeast Asia where her owners have been enjoying some of the best cruising Asia has to offer.
Recently, Boat International have announced that Adastra has been nominated as a finalist for the World Superyacht awards to be held in Istanbul on 4th May this year. Now in its eighth year, the World Superyacht Awards is considered the "Oscars" of the Superyacht world.

To be a finalist for this award is indeed a great honour, and congratulations must go to the owners of Adastra for having the vision and conviction to embark on such a project, the Naval Architects John and Orion Shuttleworth, Interior designer Jepsen Design, and of course the team of craftsmen from JMcConaghy Boats Zhuhai China who bought this vision to reality.
