SiMON will also be monitoring 269 points with two main monitoring and alarm stations. One is located at the bridge and crew area along with a secondary alarm notification in the engine room. A Consilium fire detection system will be designed to notify the crew and guests of a potential fire.
SiMON-C, Palladium’s camera security system, will contain a DVR server located on the bridge supporting up to eight cameras. Digital motion detection, camera recording and playback are some of the features of this system.
Trimaran Motor Yacht Adastra
The Power 41 metre Trimaran superyacht Adastra is being built in China for Anto Marden. As the trimaran yacht design approaches final development, the rendering you see have been produced photrealistic of the Yacht Adastra.
The owner of “Mazinga”, the 45 Ft sailing trimaran, had been talking to John Shuttleworth yacht designed for a fewf years about a new open ocean cruising power trimaran superyacht Adastra. This led to the development of a the 40 metre Power Trimaran.
Based on the original concept developed by Nigel Irens in Ilan Voyager and Cable and wireless, this new boat is a departure from previous yachts of this type in that we have achieved comfortable accommodation for 10 guests and 4 permanent crew.
The boat will be powered by a single 1000 HP inboard diesel giving a top speed of 24 knots. Range will be 3000+ miles for long distance ocean voyaging, and around the world capability. Due for launch in 2010 the basic cruising area will likely include Singapore, The Philippines. Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
