Adler II has been shrouded in secrecy since her launch in 2005. Her predecessor was a 36 metre Baglietto built in 1987 and capable of reaching 40 knots with her central gas turbine.
This new Adler is some five metres larger with a composite construction by Vector Marine. Her two Paxman engines work with her twin waterjets to generate a combined output of 10,500hp, pushing her to a top speed of 50 knots. Her highly aerodynamic, futuristic design is by Gary Grant.
