Adagio was designed by Mark Fitzgerald of C.W.Paine in Maine USA. After initial discussion and investigation of cost/benefit/quality it was concluded to build Adagio in New Zealand.
The project management for the build was carried out by NZ based John Vitali of Diverse Projects.
Orams Marine Services Auckland Yard was selected to complete the painting from raw aluminium through to gloss finish. Other independent contractors were employed in the construction process.
The July 2008 launching from the Orams Yard involved a complex tandem lift and wide swing/reach operation using two cranes.
The successful launch of Adagio was completed just 25 months from the initial design briefing.
