Inside McConaghy

From the team at PlantSail.

For 56 years McConaghy Boats have built some of the most extreme racing machines. With such a long history in composite construction and a self-proclaimed addiction to building high performance machines, McConaghy invited the internationally-acclaimed reporter, Matthew Sheahan, to take a look at some of its most advanced carbon projects for his PlanetSail series. From the production of AC40 foiling monohulls, to hydrogen fuel cell powered foiling chase boats and a constant stream of foiling Moths, McConaghy’s facility in China is now rammed with carbon large custom cruising cats. During the exclusive three day tour of the Zhuhai factory nothing was off limits.

Plus, Matt gets to sail the MC53 to see what the fuss is about!
