Are stabilizers really worth it?

Adastra, or “ad astra”, meaning “to the stars”, is a very appropriate name for this superyacht resembling a space ship design. Adastra is a 42.5-meter (140’) trimaran built by McConaghy Boats, and she looks like no other boat on the water!

What should I be looking at?

I’ll take two of those and that yacht please!We can all agree that boating has been around for centuries.  Trade routes formed, recreational sailing became a ‘thing’ that people can go out and enjoy, and of more recent times, yachting has emerged as the new winner in travelling in style.
