Each new project is seen as a new opportunity to reset previous benchmarks and reinforce the company’s reputation as builders of the worlds best grand prix performance racing yachts. That reputation has been earned through an enviable record of reliability and race success, headlined by Maxi yachts like Alfa Romeo II, Wild Oats XI and ICAP Leopard 3, most recently the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in the 2009 Rolex Sydney Hobart Race finishing 82 nautical miles ahead of the next closest Maxi in a race which featured the largest convergence of Maxi yachts the world has seen in recent times.

While some in the industry are just discovering the winning edge of advanced technologies such as pre-preg carbon construction, McConaghy has spent the past 3 decades perfecting them after founder John McConaghy became the first marine manufacturer to adopt and pioneer the aerospace industries developing lamination technology.
