Macau Moth Man

Here is Mark Evans with his new Mach2 Moth in Macau over the weekend. Mach2 designer Andrew McDougall helped Mark gets started and reported "Best first go I've seen. He will be good! He has great balance."



Mark is co-owner of McConaghy boats and MD of the McConaghy China operation that builds the Mach2 Moth.

Lochy Balboa!

Ok maybe not the Italian Stallion but Victoria's closest answer! Lochy Byrne did it and recorded his first and definitely not his last Championship win!

After two days of waiting due to no wind and gales, five races were ultimately sailed on the last day and Byrne defeated heavyweight Andrew McDougall. Sam England was first female in third place.



Yo, Andrew! It's me, Locky!

Mach 2 warranty transfer

Some of the early Mach 2's are now finding new owners as sailors upgrade to new boats. All Mach 2's are covered by a two year warranty and any warranty remaining is transferable to the new owner. If you sell your boat please don't forget to let us know the name of the new owner so we can keep our records straight. Thanks.

15 year old Mach 2 sailor does 23 knots!

Jack Sherring, the winner of the Silver edition Mach 2 auctioned on eBay shows that he's got the right stuff by clocking 23.4 knots recently.

McConaghy boats auctioned this stunning Mach 2 last year at Audio Victoria week and the proceeds went to the childrens charity "Variety"

Clearly Jacks been practising and he's' entered for the World Championships at Belmont in January. Are we seeing a future World Champion here?

Time to go to the Worlds!

Already! The Brits were packing up this weekend with Mike Lennon and Graham Simmonds leaving soon for holidays before the Worlds begin. Others like Simon Payne don't arrive until the 2nd of January but the boats are off this week! All agreed that it will be great to leave this weather behind us!



-1 degrees at Hayling Island. Sporting the new Mach 2 Roof box. Tricky in a side wind..

Bora Roarer!

Harbor Springs, it's practice day before the North Americans and Mach 2 sailor Bora Gulari is flying. Today with gust of 25 knots, Bora blasts through the 30 knots barrier with a 10 sec average of 28.9 knots and a 5 sec average of 30 knots. Hooking into a massive gust in the flat water of the harbor entrance, he ripped out the down wind top speed before the outside waves got the better of any further speed build. More to come from Harbor Springs as racing starts tomorrow.
