Everytime i see Adler I can't help but stare! It is a beautiful craft, one of the most eyecatching yachts in recent years.

Also included in that bracket are the two above.. 115 Pershing and 118 Wallypower, also consider Baglietto 115 [hull number 10192] seen below.

I did a lot of work in my last year of uni working on perceptual length and using subtle curves and straight lines to extend the visual length of a boat. All be it, i was working on a 37 footer, but these craft were the inspiration behind such ideas. Beautiful.

Also attached below for reference is the original Adler from 1987 that Carl mentioned on the previous page.

Found an interesting page listing over 60 yachts that range in speed from 30 knots to 60+ knots... and most of them are over 100 feet in length!

Anyone knows if this one got past the studfy/concept phase or is in a "design-ready-waiting-for-owner-with-deep-pockets" state ?

Some interesting features actually on that one. I just wonder what the function of the tower is other then "watch-the-world-fly-by-at-80knts". Maybe a remote helmstation since at that speed extra long-range visibility is desirable...

About Ecstasea....

"At the heart of Ecstaseas awesome propulsion package are four MTU 16 V4000 M70 engines, two per side. Each pair of diesels is connected on a single shaft to Wrtsilla 4-blade controlled pitch propellers, some 2.6 meters in diameter and weighing 3,200 kg each. A Maag custom-made gearbox allows the captain to switch between engines at will, depending on the load required.

Booster power is provided by a GE-LM 2500 turbine: geared to an eleven-to-one double-planetary gearbox (again custom-made by Maag), this offers a staggering. 30,843 hp at 3600 rpm. The turbine comes out in a carbon fiber shaft 7.7 meters long and 0.7 meters in diameter, which drives the Lips LJ210E water jet. Some 2.10 meters in diameter, the jet pipe is the largest in the world and pumps no less than 50 m of water per second. To compare, this is roughly three times the volume flow into the River Rhine as it enters the Netherlands. The total length of Ecstaseas drive train is 26.5 meters. The overall result is a maximum speeds of just over 33 knots."
