Welcome to the Mach 2 Blog

We've started this blog so we can publish news and views by Mach 2 sailors for Mach 2 sailors. And for journalists who've got to write about something and need inspiration. If you've arrived here, but need information about the boat, the brand and how to order please go to our corporate site.
This site does not have any of that information, so why does it exist? Well in this, the "Next Generation" of our sport, the corporate site could be likened to the "Vulcan neck pinch", professional, efficient and slick. Not half as powerful as the "Vulcan kick in the bollocks" though, but more politically correct. Sometimes you need both.. Send us you news, read what we have to say, and enjoy..

Have boat. Will travel!

We all know that the Australian Nationals are in Perth but due to the distance many of the Australian east coast sailors have decided not to go. It is after all 2051 miles away from Sydney.
However at 5.00pm on the 2nd of January Andrew McDougall decided that actually he would go. It was a chance to support the WA boys and also to get some early 2010 races under his belt.

There then followed some frantic organising..

Book ticket Melbourne to Perth ("excess baggage" $100 AUD on Virgin)
Book Hotel
Strip boat
Paint Foils (make mental note to not hit any more reefs)
Smile sweetly at the lady at check-in

1030 am 3rd January arrive in Perth and find a taxi to get the boat in.. (below)


Hmm.. I can see Mach 2 boat bags becoming more popular after this!
