Description

The AC40s are built at McConaghy’s state-of-the-art production facility in China, using a 7 axis CNC machine.

In light winds the AC40 is expected to be able to sail at up to 26 knots at 46º upwind and 30 knots boat speed at 138º downwind. At the upper limits of 20 knots TWS, the boat speeds are expected to escalate to 39 knots upwind at 41º and 44 knots at an angle of 155º downwind.

There are currently eight AC40’s under construction at McConaghy, with America’s Cup teams lined up awaiting possession. These AC40s will be used by the Challenging teams for testing, development, Match Race training and preliminary events, and competed in for the Youth and Women’s America’s Cups.


For all AC40's I sell I will donate 10% of my commision to the Valhalla Sailing Group (https://www.valhallasailing.org/) to help fund their amazing sailing program for Veterans.
