March/April Issue 260: Schooner Adix

'  data-srcset=

Residents of Greenport, N.Y., a small maritime village on the northeast end of Long Island, have been watching all sorts of sailing ships come and go over the past couple hundred years. There must be some sort of genetic memory of the commonplace in the locals because the presence of sailing craft, barques, yawls and sloops tying up at the village marina hardly elicits a buzz. On occasion though, when some vessel of rare beauty sails down the bay, the quotidian memory is erased and all eyes turn seaward. Adix is one of these rare sailing vessels: a three-masted schooner of such grace and elegance that even the most jaded are charmed.

Designed by South African Arthur Holgate and built of steel in Spain at the Astilleros de Mallorca shipyard in 1984, Adix was inspired by William Gardner’s three-masted schooner Atlantic , which in 1905 established the trans-Atlantic sailing record from Sandy Hook, N.J., to the Lizard Light. Atlantic ’s time was 12 days, four hours, one minute and 19 seconds, with a fastest 24-hour run of 341 nautical miles at a speed of 14 knots. That record held until 1998.

Since its launching, Adix has had five refits costing millions of dollars. The vessel has been stretched, fitted with carbon-fiber spars, coddled, mollycoddled and fashioned with a new interior, decks and more.

Adix is gaff-rigged, measuring 183 feet on deck with a beam of 28 feet and a draft of 15 feet, and weighs in at 370 tonnes. The sail area is 13,800 square feet, increasing to 28,000 square feet for sailing downwind. It sails with 14 crew, and in a trans-Atlantic race with the schooner Windrose , it beat Atlantic ’s record, taking 11 days and 10 hours to cover the distance.

Christened Jessica , Adix was bought in the mid-1980s by Alan Bond who named the yacht after his Australian beer company. Bond, an Australian businessman who later in his career served four years in jail for corporate fraud, might be better remembered for bankrolling Australia II in 1983 and winning the Americas Cup — the first time the New York Yacht Club had lost the trophy in more than 130 years. In 1989, he sold the vessel.

The latest owner of Adix , Jaime Botin, an heir to the Santander Banking Company of Spain, was arrested in 2015 for attempting to smuggle a Picasso painting out of the country aboard the schooner. The painting, “Head of a Young Woman” (1906), was seized by French authorities in Corsica in 2015. It was acquired by Botin in 1977 and is valued at $28 million. Cataloged as a national treasure, it cannot leave Spain under any circumstances. Botin’s trial began in November 2019.

We will have our captain do a morning sun line. We’ll use the 2020 Nautical Almanac and a height of eye of 15 feet, for a morning sun line on Feb. 3. We need to find the local mean time (LMT) of the observation and the Ho. Then, using HO 249, find the intercept and plot to find the estimated position. The GMT time of the lower limb observation of the sun is 02:25:15. The DR of Adix at the time is 22° 25’ S by 158° 53’ W. The Hs is 38° 40.9’.

A billionaire banker sentenced to three years' prison for smuggling a $44 million Picasso painting out of Spain has been refused entry to New Zealand - but the yacht he attempted the crime on floats in Auckland.

Jamie Botin was convicted of trying to smuggle the Pablo Picasso painting Head of a Young Woman he owned outside of Spanish waters on his 65m yacht Adix in 2015.

The 84-year-old is part of the Santander banking dynasty and has a personal fortune of $2.5 billion. His niece is currently chairwoman of Spain's largest bank, which his great-grandfather founded.

Botin's initial sentence in January 2020 was doubled to three years and he was fined $154m for the crime, but he appealed and still walks free as the case continues.

The yacht Adix which Botin used to take Head of a Young Woman out of Spanish waters, with the alleged intention to sell, now floats in Auckland's Silo Park marina.

The yacht first docked in New Zealand at Opua, Bay of Islands, in December last year and has since sailed down to Auckland to be moored alongside the superyacht of another European billionaire Jim Ratcliffe - who owns Ineos Team UK.

A source in the Auckland marine industry familiar with Adix said Botin himself anticipated he would be able to join his infamous yacht in New Zealand.

"I know the owner is still in court about this Picasso picture, fighting it," the industry source said.

"Yeah, he did try and come [to New Zealand]. Can't get in because of the restrictions. I think the beginning of this year he was supposed to come, January. He just loves sailing.

"I think it's the fourth time the boat is down in New Zealand in its life. The two captains, they both rotate, there's a Kiwi captain on board now. They cruise around the world all the time."

The Ministry of Health confirmed Adix was granted permission to enter New Zealand under a "refit and repair" maritime border exemption in November last year.

Immigration NZ advised they issued visas to 11 crew members of Adix and a 12th crew member on board was a New Zealand citizen.

The refit and repair maritime border exemption provides criteria for yachts to enter New Zealand, along with any international crew, provided they spend $50,000 in maintenance work at a local marine yard.

Botin, whose nephew Marcelino is the principal designer for American Magic America's Cup team, was originally charged with taking the Picasso painting out of Spain in 2015 by the Spanish Government, which had imposed a national protection order on the painting for its significance to Spanish heritage.

Spain has some of the strictest heritage laws in Europe and authorities can deem a work of art more than a century old a national treasure for its cultural importance.

Spanish authorities had already begun to monitor Botin in 2012 after Christie's auction house asked for an export licence to put Head of a Young Woman up for sale.

The Spanish Government refused the licence, also forbidding Botin to take the painting outside the country.

However, in 2015 Botin's son Alfonso took Adix to the French Mediterranean island of Corsica.

Working from a tip-off, French customs officials boarded the yacht in Calvi on the French island of Corsica, found the painting packaged up and seized it.

Prosecutors subsequently alleged Botin intended to take the painting to Switzerland to sell. It was taken to the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, where it remains.

Botin claimed he was transporting Head of a Young Woman to Geneva for safe storage and that the painting was rarely ever on Spanish soil during his ownership anyway.

The banker acquired the Picasso in 1977 and it has hung in the Adix yacht for many decades.

Head of a Young Woman is from Picasso's pink period and one of only a few existing paintings he painted in 1906 in the village of Gosol in Catalonia.

At one point, a floating art collection adorned the Adix including works by JMW Turner and Camille Corot.

Botin bought Adix in 1990 off Australian industrialist Alan Bond, who famously bankrolled his country's successful challenge for the America's Cup in 1983.

Adix had been built in Mallorca in 1984 and christened Jessica by her original Argentine owner. Bond bought her a few years later and changed her name to XXXX, which is a brand of beer he owned in Queensland at the time.

Aside from his appeal case and inability to enter New Zealand, it is not all bad news for Botin, who in January was awaiting one of the largest individual dividends in the history of Spanish banking.

He is set to receive $17.5m from his shares in his Santander family bank.

Sailing Superyacht Adix Begins Refit at The Yard Brisbane

The 64.85 metre sailing superyacht Adix has begun a four month refit and Lloyds survey period at The Yard Brisbane (TYB) in Australia.

The three masted schooner, which was built in Spain 1984 to an Arthur Holgate design, is currently cruising the South Pacific in the run up to the America’s Cup in Auckland in 2021.

While having a long-term refit relationship with the Pendennis yard in Cornwall, the Adix team selected TYB to undergo maintenance work while the yacht is based in the Southern Hemisphere.

Speaking about the yacht’s arrival at the yard, international development manager Mark Phelps said: “We recognise that while looking for facilities in the Southern hemisphere the Adix team would have been measuring every facility against their ‘home’ shipyard Pendennis, a highly respected Northern European yard. To be selected as their yard of choice supports our belief that we hold a place on the world refit stage.”

He added: “ Adix is a truly iconic yacht and we are delighted to have her visit us.”

Captain Paul Goss explained that TYB’s extensive facilities, which include two high clearance refit halls of 90 and 70 metres, were key in selecting the yard.

“ Adix occupies a lot of space when you lay the three rigs on the ground–the sum of Adix’s spars laid end to end is over 220-metres. The Yard Brisbane’s spacious facilities, particularly their refit sheds, were excellent in that respect,” he said.

It comes after Adix completed an eight-month refit at the Pendennis yard in July 2015. The extensive programme included a redesign of the deck house, addition of new portholes and engineering overhaul.

Adix’s first transformation took place in 1991, when the yacht underwent underwent a transom modification and full interior strip out, with design by Dykstra Naval Architects . This remodelling programme saw Adix named as ‘Best Refit’ in the ShowBoats Awards that year.

adix yacht owner

Built by Astilleros de Mallorca in 1984 to an Arthur Holgate design, with a length of almost 65m, Adix remains one of the largest sailing yachts built since the 1930s. The yacht was originally brought to the yard in 1991 to undergo a complete programme of refit and repair, including a transom modification, 6m extension and full interior strip out. She has since paid subsequent visits to our yard in 2001, 2008, 2014, and 2022. During her 2009 visit Adix underwent scratch and gloss paint work, Lloyd’s and MCA surveys with a major engineering overhaul on her generators and main engines and cosmetic work on her external deckhouses. At the time the 370 tonne three masted schooner was the largest yacht to be lifted out by Pendennis’ 400 tonne travel hoist. Adix returned to Falmouth in April 2014 to compete in the fourth edition of the Pendennis Cup following which she was hauled out to begin a comprehensive 8-month refit programme. The Schooner underwent engineering works which included the installation of new generators and main engine, the yacht’s weight was assessed and the ballast was reconfigured to improve her weight by over 18 tonnes. Paintworks were completed in situ whilst she was based in one of our 90m construction halls. The Pendennis team redesigned the yacht’s deck house, which was moved further forward and combined with a seating area to provide better interaction with the Owner’s accommodation. After enjoying the summer cruising period Adix returned for final topside works including new lighter carbon and titanium rigging to complete her refit. After departing Falmouth, Adix continued to receive remote assistance from our Yacht Support team in locations around the globe, before returning for a short visit to the yard in 2022. She has recently departed to continue her adventures.
